Water Law

The Water Management Act 2000 (NSW) was progressively introduced from 1 July 2004, bringing significant changes which have influenced the way in which water management procedures operate throughout other states.

The Water Management Amendment Act 2014 was passed by the NSW Parliament in late 2014, introducing changes relating to a range of aspects of water management including planning, licensing, and compliance.
