Independent Review of Water Extraction Licences

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources has responded to the recommendations arising from the independent review of water extraction licences which was commissioned by the government in 2016. This review asked an independent panel to consider all licences issued between August 2012 and August 2016.

The department’s reporting against the recommendations is now complete. The report was publicly released in November 2017.

The department will continue to report against the implementation of those recommendations until they are complete.
