The NSW Government has received valuable community feedback on a landmark proposal to improve access to water by landholders for bushfire preparedness and firefighting needs.

Today’s mostly full opening water allocations reflect the state’s continued good water availability following consecutive wet years. This is good news for licenced water users, who will see most entitlements nearing maximum allowable levels.

The NSW Government is committed to the sustainable and equitable management of the State’s water resources, including strong and effective compliance.
