This submission complements that provided by New South Wales Irrigators’ Council (NSWIC). NFF’s primary interest is ensuring that any changes arising from the Review maintain the reliability of downstream water entitlements and avoid unintended impacts on agricultural water users.
Protecting the reliability of water entitlements (including those downstream) must remain a central consideration of this Review. Changes to operational arrangements or flow pathways such as that contemplated from Tantangara Dam (Page 4 of the Issues Consultation Report) must not reduce entitlement reliability or shift risk onto licence holders.
