The National Water Initiative is the shared government blueprint that underpins management of Australia’s water resources, created 2004 and agreed by the Australian Government and all states and territories. The Australian Government has committed to a new national water agreement in the current term of government.
The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water has been working through the National Water Reform Committee, its subcommittees and the Committee on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Water Interests, on the early stages of developing a new agreement, with the aim of an agreement being signed by the end of 2024.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
