Regional Water Strategy Areas

Export DataRegional Water Strategy (RWS) areas define the boundaries of regions in NSW for which regional water strategies are prepared. RWS boundaries are used define the region for which an individual regional water strategy is developed. Regional water strategies will set out a long-term 'roadmap' of actions to deliver five objectives. Options selected for inclusion in the final strategy for each region will need to address at least one of these objectives: Deliver and manage water for local communities, Enable economic prosperity, Recognise and protect Aboriginal cultural values and rights, Protect and enhance the environment, Affordability - Identify least cost policy and infrastructure options. The RWS boundaries are derived from Water Resource Plan (WRP) boundaries for the inland areas. The coastal areas are aligned with the Water Sharing Plan (WSP) boundaries. The Murray RWS boundary is further defined using the Geoscience Australia's geofabric data HR Regions layer. The Murray RWS also needs to include the area for the Wentworth weir pool using the AGHF Catchment layer in the geofabric to select the catchments that incorporate the Wentworth Weir pool.Previous SEED service moved from 10.7 to 11. 1 Portal.
