Water Strategy public info webinar: Thursday, 28 July 2022 12:30pm – 2:00pm
Submissions sought by the NSW Department of Planning & Environment's first-ever NSW Groundwater Strategy, will be accepted: until 11:59pm on Sunday, 14 August 2022.
The draft NSW Groundwater Strategy will deliver on a key priority of the NSW Water Strategy by providing an enhanced, state-wide focus on sustainable groundwater management for the next 20 years.
Our groundwater resources are becoming increasingly vulnerable due to changing climate conditions, population growth and increased land use. A long-term direction – harnessing the latest science available – is needed to make sure the way we manage groundwater continues to evolve to tackle the critical challenges it faces now and in the future.
The upcoming online public webinar (Thursday 28 July) will provide an overview of the draft strategy include a Q & A session. Register for the webinar here.
Community feedback is currently being sought on the draft NSW Groundwater Strategy, which is on public exhibition for six weeks from Tuesday, 5 July until Sunday, 14 August 2022.
