Chief Executive Update – June 2024

A regular monthly update from our Chief Executive, Andrew McConville as part of the River Reach e-newsletter.

Published: 26 June 2024

Hi everyone, it has been a busy month here at MDBA.

Last week’s River Reflections conference in Albury was a great success.

I want to say thanks to everyone who participated in the conference, and a massive thank you to our passionate staff who pulled together yet another fantastic event.

At the conference we shared the Authority’s early insights to the Basin Plan Review. You can read more about this important early thinking and catch up on all the conference recordings in our newsroom.

Nominations are open for the Murray–Darling Basin Community Committee. If you’re interested in becoming a BCC member, you have until July 14 to apply.

Read up on the MDBA’s recent involvement at the World Water Forum in Bali.

And we sit down with REO Kate Bartlett to catch up on what she has been up to in the lower Murray catchment.  

Thanks for tuning in and don’t forget to check out the 2026 Basin Plan Review Early Insights Paper.
