The NSW Government is getting a clearer picture of how residents in regional NSW are using water to help improve water efficiency by putting a spotlight on how often we are turning on the taps or flushing the toilet.

Thousands of stone artefacts found during the Dungowan Dam investigations in northern NSW have been returned to Kamilaroi/Gomeroi Country during a smoking ceremony at the Tamworth Botanical Gardens this week.

Southern Inland water users have less than a week left to start installing compliant non-urban metering equipment to improve the way water is measured and monitored across the state.

Following the Federal Government’s decision last night to withdraw funding the NSW Government will not proceed with the Dungowan Dam project.

Water and sewerage operations across the Warrumbungle Shire have been streamlined thanks to a million-dollar upgrade of the telemetry network.

The $16 million Winburndale Dam Flood Security Upgrade is nearing its final stages, with 19 of 25 pre-stressed ground anchors now installed to reinforce the dam wall.

The Secretary of the NSW Department of Industry, Mr. Simon Smith, today accepted the resignation of Mr. Gavin Hanlon, former Deputy Director General at DPI Water.

Mr Matthews has completed information gathering for the interim report, and the drafting of this is close to completion.

Today I start the review that I have been commissioned to do by the NSW Government.

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