Empowering the Peel Valley: WaterInsights Presentation Recap

On Tuesday, September 17, we hosted a special presentation at the UNE Centre in Tamworth, introducing the WaterInsights platform managed by WaterNSW. Our guest speaker, Kate Masters, provided an in-depth walkthrough of how water is managed and shared across New South Wales, with a focus on the Peel Valley.

Participants brought their own devices and followed along as Kate demonstrated how to access vital data on water storage, usage, and allocation. This hands-on session equipped attendees with the tools they need to monitor water resources in real-time, helping the community make informed decisions about water management.

The event was a great success, with 14 participants and an interactive Q&A session to wrap up the evening. This initiative is a step towards fostering better water stewardship in the Peel Valley.

Key Facts:

  • 14 participants attended, with Kate Masters from WaterNSW as the guest speaker.
  • The session covered Peel Valley-specific water data and management tools.
  • Participants used their devices for a hands-on experience.
  • Positive feedback highlighted the practical value of the session.

Stay tuned for future events where we’ll dive deeper into local water management topics!

DCCEEW Stakeholder Survey

As part of ongoing stakeholder consultation, the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water has developed a short survey to better understand how climate change is impacting restoration projects across the state.
The survey aims to: 

  • Capture local experiences of climate risks and impacts on restoration efforts,
  • Identify whether climate adaptation actions are being considered or implemented, and
  • Understand what information, tools, or resources could better support restoration practitioners in planning for a changing climate.


We are hoping to reach a wide range of practitioners, planners and policy makers working in ecological restoration across NSW and would greatly appreciate your help in circulating this survey through your networks.

The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and does not collect any personal or identifying information. All responses will be reviewed carefully to ensure they remain anonymous.

Please feel free to forward this message and survey link to any colleagues, project partners or relevant contacts who may be interested in contributing. The broader the reach, the better the insights we can gather to support effective, climate-resilient restoration in NSW.
