Water Plan (Burnett Basin) (Postponement of Expiry) Notice 2024

Proposal type: Regulatory proposals where no RIA is required

The Water Plan (Burnett Basin) 2014 is due to expire on 1 September 2024. A Postponement of Expiry Notice has extended the expiry date to 19 April 2027.

Extending the Burnett Basin water plan for a further three years will maintain the short-term effective management of the region’s water supply. This will provide adequate time to complete technical assessments and consultation to develop the replacement Burnett Basin water plan, with a focus on the longer-term effective management of the region’s water supply.

Gazettal of this notice is proposed on 19 April 2024.

Postponing the expiry date of the Burnett Basin water plan is an amendment that does not increase costs or the regulatory burden on business or the community and is not subject to Regulatory Impact Analysis under The Queensland Government Better Regulation Policy (2023).
