The Statements of Assurance provide an opportunity for the parties involved in the Basin Plan Implementation Agreement to provide the community with information about their compliance and progress in implementing the Basin Plan – which is scheduled to roll out over a number of years.
The 2014–15 Statement of Assurance includes reporting on consistency with the Basin Plan water trading rules, which commenced on 1 July 2014.
Reporting on long-term environmental watering plans for each surface water resource plan area will commence in the water year following its finalisation. The plans are due to begin rolling out in 2015-16 with the final plans due in June 2019.
Sustainable Diversion Limits become enforceable from 1 July 2019. These will be reported on for the first time in 2019-20.
