Public consultation has opened until 18 September 2023 on the Draft Amended Mersey River Catchment Water Management Plan 2023.
The Draft Plan was developed following a review of the Mersey Water Management Plan 2005.
Future-focused water management rules are outlined in the Draft Plan, which balances the needs of water supplies for environmental, domestic, stock and town water supply, irrigation, commercial use, and other river-based recreational activities.
