(1) The Basin Plan (including
any environmental watering plan or water quality and salinity management plan included in the Basin Plan) must be prepared so as to provide for giving effect to relevant international agreements (to the extent to which those agreements are relevant to the use and management of the Basin water resources).
(4) In preparing
the environmental watering plan, the Authority must have regard to any other programs for water recovery and environmental watering in the Murray ‑ Darling Basin.
The environmental watering plan provides a framework for planning and coordinating environmental water use across the Basin.
It informs planning, decision - making and monitoring, and ensures environment watering aligns with the objectives of
the Environmental Watering Plan.
The Water Act 2007 (Cth) requires the CEWH to perform its functions and exercise its powers consistently with and in a manner that gives effect to the Water Act 2007 - Basin Plan 2012, and specifically, that Commonwealth environmental water is managed in accordance with the Basin Plan's
environmental watering plan.
This includes a requirement that the environmental water holdings be managed in accordance with
the environmental watering plan (part of the Murray - Darling Basin Plan).
To strengthen and build on the collaborative arrangements already in place, the environmental management framework set out in the Basin Plan's
environmental watering plan is intended to:
The Basin Plan's
environmental watering plan has been deliberately designed to support adaptive management by allowing flexibility in its implementation.
For example, the Murray — Darling Basin Authority and Basin states will be seeking local input on the identification of state and Basin - scale annual priorities, as well as on the development of the Basin - wide environmental watering strategy and long - term
environmental watering plans.
The portfolio is managed in accordance with the Water Act and the Murray Darling Basin Authority's
Environmental Water Plan.
Meanwhile, staff from the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office, including our six Local Engagement Officers, continue to work hard to strengthen relationships with a range of people living in and working in the Basin, to ensure diverse perspectives are included as part of
environmental watering planning and management.
