Recently published reviews

We are currently undertaking reviews of the following water sharing plans that are due to expire 30 June 2026:

• Water Sharing Plan for the Murrumbidgee Regulated River Water Source 2016
• Water Sharing Plan for the Gwydir Regulated River Water Source 2016
• Water Sharing Plan for the NSW Murray and Lower Darling Regulated Rivers Water Sources 2016

Submissions were sought for each of these plan reviews and have informed our advice.

The Murrumbidgee regulated plan review is nearing the final stages. A final report will be submitted to the Minister for Water and Minister for the Environment shortly. The final report will be available on this website following a response from the Minister for Water, or six months after the report is submitted to the Minister’s office, whichever occurs first.

Reviews of the Gwydir and NSW Murray and Lower Darling plans continue and will be finalised later in 2024.
