Have your say

Our first round of public consultation for the Whitsunday water plan review is now open.

All feedback must be submitted to us by 31 October 2025.

Your feedback should include anything you'd like us to consider as part of the water plan review, such as issues you have with the current water plan or the reasons we’re replacing the water plan. Provide as much detail as possible.

Include your contact details if you are happy for us to contact you to discuss your feedback.

If you are interested in being part of the Whitsunday water plan working group to help shape the new water plan, let us know when you provide your submission.

The scope of this review is limited to the management and allocation of water. Any issues or comments relating to the assessment or approval of infrastructure proposals should be referred to the Office of the Coordinator-General.
