The 2024-25 NSW Budget paves the way for decisive action on water quality in the Far West by delivering $25 million to establish the Restoring the Darling-Baaka River Program.

The NSW Government is taking steps to commence work on the largest investment in water infrastructure along the Darling-Baaka River in decades with the delivery of a $76.1 million new state-of-the-art weir and fishway for Wilcannia.

Work has begun on a new $5.1 million Wyangala Water Treatment Plant which will deliver up to 800,000 litres of clean drinking water every day to village residents and the popular holiday park.
