Sustainable water security for the Granite Belt

GBSAN Regional Water Assessment submission, December 2023

GBSAN made a submission in response to the Regional Water Assessment [RWA] draft report [full submission PDF].

A Sustainable Water Security Strategy for the Granite Belt will aim to balance water requirements across the entire community both now and for the future.

It will seek:

  • fair and equitable distribution and accessibility for the whole community,

  • to support thriving, healthy local communities, and their livelihoods.

  • to promote sustainable economic growth,

  • to preserve the integrity of the landscape and environment, and

  • to effectively adapt to the challenges posed by climate change.
