Guidelines for proposing a water recovery measure

All suggestions for new water recovery projects can be submitted electronically or by hard copy to the MDBC water recovery team. Before submitting an application, the Murray-Darling Basin Commission advises discussing proposals with your local state department.

Guidelines have been developed to assist proponents.  The guidelines include references to the original and Supplementary Inter Governmental Agreement, along with The Living Murray Business Plan. More information on these documents is available on the 'background' page of this site.

A copy of the guidelines, and an application form for feasibility assessments are available in MSWord format by clicking on the links below.
