NOM-3      NOTICE OF MOTION - RECONNECTING RIVERS COUNTRY PROGRAM

A Motion was moved by Councillors T Koschel and R Foley

That Council:

a formally calls for direct consultation with the Murray-Darling Basin Authority and other appropriate agencies to prioritise engagement with local landholders and communities over international frameworks that may not align with Australian environmental realities.

b write to state representatives, including Member for Wagga Wagga, Dr Joe McGirr MP, NSW Minister for Water, Housing and Homelessness, the Hon Rose Jackson and NSW Premier, the Hon Chris Minns MP, to express concerns over the lack of effective public consultation and transparency regarding water flow decisions impacting the Wagga Wagga region.

c seeks a review of “environmental flows” policies to evaluate their suitability for Australian conditions, with specific consideration to:

i The impact of high water releases on riverbank stability, property damage, and water quality.

ii The necessity of maintaining the current flow limit of 26,000 ML/day near Wagga to mitigate flood risk.

d advocate for policy adjustments that better align with local ecosystems and community needs rather than rigid international regulations.

e submit a formal request to the New South Wales government to initiate discussions at the federal level regarding the Ramsar Convention, emphasising the need for flexibility in how international wetlands conservation agreements are applied to Australia’s unique landscape and climate.

f seek support for policy amendments allowing more adaptable, science-based water management practices that reflect local environmental cycles rather than international benchmarks that may be unsuitable for the Australian context.

g advocates for a comprehensive flood mitigation strategy for the Riverina, including the proposal to raise the Burrinjuck Dam wall to improve flood control capacity.

h urges the New South Wales government to allocate funding and resources to strengthen local infrastructure affected by high water flows, such as roads, bridges, and essential services, reducing the recurring financial burden on local councils.

i calls for clear policies that safeguard the property rights and livelihoods of local landholders impacted by high water flows, ensuring that decisions account for both environmental and economic consequences.

j seeks transparency and accountability from state and federal bodies in water management practices and policy decisions impacting the Murrumbidgee River system and Wagga Wagga region.

An AMENDMENT was moved by Councillor G Davies and seconded by Councillor L Tanner

That Council:

a take up the request to receive an in person update and workshop on what this Reconnecting Rivers Country Program involves and the effects on our Local Government Area (LGA) and our residents

b following the workshop, write to:

i. the NSW Minister for Water, Housing and Homelessness the Hon Rose Jackson MLC, requesting an immediate halt in the Reconnecting River Country Program.
