Part of the NSW Government’s Sustainable Diversion Limit Adjustment Mechanism (SDLAM) Acceleration Program, the Murrumbidgee and Murray National Park Project aims to improve the delivery of environmental water in Yanga National Park and the Millewa Forest precinct of Murray Valley National Park to enhance environmental and cultural outcomes.
Through the project, the NSW Government will be able to deliver strong environmental and community benefits including:
- more targeted and efficient water delivery, increasing the viability of ecological communities including native grasses, shrubs and trees
- improved wetland condition, function and structure resulting in more favourable conditions for waterbirds and aquatic fauna
- increased fish passage and improved supply of floodplain carbon to river food webs
- reduced potential for the local spread and dominance of river red gum saplings in Moira grasslands and floodplains
- a reduced incidence of over-watering and under-watering, which is attributed to increased mortality of native flora species
- enhancement in Connections to Country for First Nations people.
Improving the efficiency of environmental water delivery using a range of infrastructure solutions. The solutions build on the suite of works being undertaken to transition the broader Lowbidgee area into a more sustainable environment.
