Northern Victoria and southern Riverina people can hear explanations of the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission's recent report into water markets at forums this week.
The report has recommended the establishment of a new, independent, water marketing agency to oversee water trading in the Murray-Darling Basin.
The creation of the new agency is among 29 recommendations in the final report of the ACCC’s Murray-Darling Basin water markets inquiry.
The recommendations are grouped across four themes: governance of the basin water markets, market integrity and conduct, trade processing and water market information, and market architecture.
Forums will be held at Shepparton Golf Club, 15 Golf Dve, Shepparton on Thursday, April 29, starting at 10 am, and at Deniliquin RSL Club, 72 End St, Deniliquin, from 1.30 pm on Wednesday, April 28.
Registrations to attend can be made at the ACCC consultation hub website or at: consultation.accc.gov.au/agriculture/murray-darling-basin-inquiry-forums-april-2021
