New evidence on water sharing plan review presented
Irrigation groups from northern NSW have added their voice to concerns with the quality of the Natural Resources Commissions draft report
reviewing the Barwon Darling Water Sharing Plan.
They collectively provided a submission to the draft review saying that the NRC appears to have moved away from its previous approach to
reviews and have provided no evidence of a former robust process in this draft report.
Northern irrigators say they are frustrated that the NRC relied heavily on expert opinion with “so-called” supporting evidence that was not
publicly available.
The GVIA also provided their own submission.
