Key stakeholders with broad interests in the water sector helped shape this strategy as part of a review that considered our success to date, the current policy landscape, and risks and opportunities ahead. During the development of this strategy, stakeholders provided a deeper understanding of the challenges, opportunities and priorities for Queensland’s water resources portfolio.
Generally, stakeholders supported an holistic approach to sustainable resource management.
The department also took its first steps towards seeking the views of First Nation peoples with future engagement to come through a stand-alone First Nations Water Strategy.
The Queensland Government works collaboratively with Australian Government and interstate partners to deliver national water reforms and better outcomes in the Murray–Darling Basin.
“Water Engagement Forum members acknowledge the quality, openness, and continuity of this important consultation process. We have appreciated the genuine opportunity to engage and to provide feedback.”
