Submission to Senate Inquiry into the Water Amendment Bill 2023
The Wentworth Group has made a submission to the Senate Inquiry into the Water Amendment (Restoring Our Rivers) Bill 2023. The Bill proposes a number of amendments to the Cwlth Water Act 2007 and the Basin Plan 2012 . We put forward key recommendations related to delivery, integrity and transparency that would strengthen the Bill, as well as urgently-needed measures to address climate change and Indigenous water rights in Australia’s national water laws.
