EDO NSW commends the Commission on its thorough consideration of this water sharing plan and on the detailed recommendations for its improvement. We particularly commend the Commission for its recommendations around improving the rule-based protections for environmental watering and flow management in the plan, to accord with the requirements of the water sharing principles in section 5(3) of the Water Management Act 2000 (NSW) and recommendations to improve transparency of the plan-making process.
