The NSW Government is taking a deep dive into our incredible aquatic life across the state - everything from turtles and dragonflies to frogs, plants and endangered fish - to improve the way we manage our waterways for the next generations.

A new $55 million pipeline that connects the Calala Water Treatment Plant in Tamworth to the Dungowan Showgrounds has been completed, helping save up to 2.2 megalitres of water per day.

Work has begun on one of the largest water infrastructure projects in New South Wales, with the Parkes-Peak Hill Water Supply Project designed to put the region in a stronger position to manage water in a drier climate.

The NSW Government is taking proactive and precautionary action to help protect the Darling-Barka River as we move into cooler weather conditions.
