Water resource plan
Lower Murray

The plan was accredited by the Australian Government Minister as being consistent with the Basin Plan and commenced on 16 November 2019. The Minister’s decision instrument and the explanatory statement are available on the Federal Register of Legislation.

Key documents informing the recommendation decision are set out below.

Note: Since South Australia’s water resource plans were accredited by the Commonwealth Minister, parts of several State instruments that were accredited as part of the plans have been amended or replaced. One of the key changes is the Landscape South Australia Act 2019 replacing the Natural Resources Management Act 2004. While some of the legislative instruments and other documents referred to in the plans are not current, the plans remain in effect. The South Australian government is working with the MDBA and the Office of the Inspector General of Water Compliance to identify the best approach to updating and reaccrediting the plans. This process will ensure that the updated plans meet local water management needs and Basin Plan requirements.

The Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges water resource plan is made up of a number of documents. The key document is the Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges water resource plan.
