The NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water today issued a ‘rising river alert’ for the Snowy River downstream of Jindabyne Dam in southern NSW for Thursday 27 June 2024.

Aboriginal tradies are picking up their tools along with new skills as training kicks off to boost the number of qualified people who can install non-urban water meters across NSW.

The NSW Department of Planning and Environment has reduced the volume of a planned environmental water release from Jindabyne Dam that was scheduled to take place on Friday 9 December 2022, from 3,705 megalitres per day to 1,995 megalitres per day.

Tamworth and the Peel Valley have one more week to have their say on the New Dungowan Dam and Pipeline Environmental Impact Statement.

Water Users along the NSW Coast and in the Southern Inland will be given extra time to install non-urban metering equipment in the wake of unrelenting rainfall and widespread flooding.
