Councils blast basin plan outcomes
The Murray-Darling Basin Plan is not delivering fair outcomes and Victorian communities have lost patience, according to a group of Murray River councils.The Murray River Group supports the basin plan but is calling for fairer implementation to address issues in the northern basin and at the end of the system to spread the burden.“Northern Victorian irrigation communities are suffering from the impact of providing around 800Gl of water for the environment under the basin plan and many now question whether it has been worth the pain,‘‘ the group said.Murray River Group chair Lorraine Learmonth spoke about the frustration in irrigation communities.
