Today, we have released the first progress update on our preparations for the 2026 Basin Plan Review.

The Roadmap helps you understand the work we have planned. It shows how we’ll approach the next 3 years and tells how you can get involved.

The Basin Plan and the Constraints Management Strategy (CMS) require the MDBA to report annually to Basin ministers about progress with matters covered by the CMS.

In 2012, Basin state governments asked the MDBA to develop a Constraints Management Strategy to investigate how water can get to where it’s needed, when it’s needed while avoiding or mitigating impacts to riparian landholders, communities and industries. 

The Murray–Darling Basin Authority’s (MDBA) position statement on floodplain harvesting outlines the expectations of the MDBA and how this water use occurs.

This report provides a summary of feedback received during consultation on development of the Constraints Management Strategy, including feedback received throughout the public comment period on the draft Strategy and an outline of how the MDBA has responded in finalising the Strategy.

This list is updated as new projects are registered. Contact the relevant state water authority for details on individual projects.

Guidelines for supply and constraint measure feasibility studies have been developed by Basin jurisdictions.

This report shows technical work and information that we have collected through our talks with stakeholders from the Murrumbidgee since early 2013. This report was first released as a draft for community feedback in December of 2014.

In June 2015, the Australian Senate set up a select committee to look at the Murray–Darling Basin Plan.
