Water Management
NSW Wetland Recovery program
The NSW Wetland Recovery Program is a suite of projects that aim to restore the ecological health of the Gwydir Wetlands and the Macquarie Marshes through water efficiency, voluntary buy-back of water licences and improvements to wetland management. The NSW Government has allocated $13.4 million to this project and a matching $13.4 million has been provided from the Australian Government Water Fund. The Program is managed by the NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change.
Under the program, $400,000 has been granted to the Department of Water and Energy to undertake a strategic compliance audit of structures in the Macquarie Marshes during 2008 and 2009.
