Restoring the Balance
A $3.1 billion buyback of water entitlements administered by the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts
A $5.8 billion program for investing in water saving infrastructure, also administered by the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts.
These different programs for recovering water interact in a complex manner, and it is important to recognise and understand this as we discuss alternatives.
Also bear in mind that the geography of the Basin means it covers areas under the jurisdiction of five state and territory governments: QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC and SA.
With many different uses for water and the involvement of several governments, management of the Basin is complicated.
The Draft Report contains extensive analysis of these issues. We have also prepared the Draft Report at a Glance to provide a more accessible overview.
