Reviewing the Logan Basin water plan

We are reviewing the Logan Basin water plan.

We are now at step 3 of the consultation timeline which means that the draft plan is now available for public consultation.

Consultation is open now and closes on 30 April 2026.

What you need to know

We have reviewed feedback and done technical assessments to produce the draft plan. Because the plan is large and detailed, we’ve summarised many of the changes and made it easy for you to decide if you want to read the full draft or use the summaries.

We have also produced a draft water management protocol and a draft water entitlement notice. These are formal documents to support the new plan and need to be reviewed with it.

You can have your say on all these documents at once:

• The Public notice – Availability of the draft water plan (Logan Basin), draft water management protocol, and draft water entitlement notice formally lets you know we have released these documents for public consultation.
• The Statement of intent – Draft Water Plan (Logan Basin) 2026 – s46 of the Water Act 2000 summarises the key aspects of the draft plan and important changes.
• The draft Water Plan (Logan Basin) 2026 (PDF, 1.5MB) (draft water plan) is the full, detailed text of the proposed plan, which once finalised, will replace the current plan.
• The draft Logan Basin water management protocol (PDF, 570KB) (draft protocol) is the full, detailed document that supports the implementation of the plan.
• The draft Logan Basin water entitlement notice (PDF, 935KB) (draft WEN) is the full, detailed text specifying water entitlements under the plan.
