The Department of Environment, Parks and Water Security (DEPWS) is inviting Territorians to have their say about the 5 year review of the Alice Springs Water Allocation Plan 2016 to 2026.
The Plan commenced in February 2016 with the 4 principal objectives being to:
· Maintain public water supply
· Protect the environment
· Support Indigenous culture and communities; and
· Ensure sustainable development
DEPWS will prepare a report at the conclusion of the consultation process for the Environment Minister to consider and might include recommendations that the Plan:
· Either remain as is without any changes; or
· Be modified where appropriate for the remainder of the Plan’s lifespan
The survey period ends on 11 December 2020.
