applies to a whole river catchment or groundwater basin; triggers arrangements for managing overland flow and groundwater ; shares the water resources between human and environmental needs; is developed with community consultation; initialises and supports trading of water entitlements; and protects non-consumptive values including cultural and environmental.
Problems with the old management system:
basin-wide impacts were not considered; water entitlements were effectively eroded over time; each decision was open to legal challenge; water entitlement tied to land and could only be traded with the land; no explicit environmental provisions.

Plan Approval by Government and Implementation through a ROP
WRP, ROP & associated decision support systems
Water Resource Plans
State outcomes establishing the balance between water made available for consumption and water retained in the river. Contain strategies for achieving these including environmental flow objectives and water allocation security objectives. Include criteria for preparing Resource Operations Plans in each part of a catchment (re. licence conversions, water sharing rules, water trading rules). May include requirements for the allocation and management of overland flow and groundwater.
Resource Operations Plans
Convert existing water licences to tradable water allocations:
Clearly specified volume, location of take, purpose and priority group. Records ownership on a Water Allocation Register similar to the State’s Land Titles system; Allows banks and others to register their interest in the title through a mortgage;
Previous Water Management Arrangements
In the past, new water development proposals (public and private) were:
assessed incrementally over time; generally only assessed in terms of local impacts.
Types of water entitlements under the Water Act
Water licences Attached to land Granted for up to 10 years (up to 20 years for stock and domestic) Need to be renewed Water allocations Separate from land with separate title Tradable In perpetuity (do not need to be renewed) Some other water authorisations: Water permits (temporary - foreseeable end date required) Resource operations licences & distribution operations licences (infrastructure/water supply scheme authorisations)
The Water Act requires the Department to: Plan for the allocation and sustainable management of water to meet Queensland’s future water requirements, including for the protection of natural ecosystems and security of supply for water users.
Water Resource Planning
Since the Water Act was enacted, approach to allocating and managing water has focused on a Water Resource Planning process, which:
Monitoring, assessment, reporting and 10 year review
Consultation with Community Reference Panel during development of draft WRP
Public consultation on and review of draft WRP
Tradable Water Allocations
Establishment of tradable water allocations provides the opportunity for water to move to high value uses; Trading is an incentive for higher efficiency and high value use; The trading rules (specified in the Resource Operations Plan) are based on hydrological and physical limitations as well as social and economic considerations, Water allocations held and dealt with under a titling system similar to that used to record land titles; Water allocations may be bought, sold and bequeathed (just like land). To date more than 10,000 tradable water allocations valued at estimated $2.0 billion have been established in the Water Allocation Register.
State’s Responsibility for Water Planning
In Australia, State Governments have the responsibility for managing water and other resources; The rights to water are vested in the State under the Water Act 2000; An entitlement under the Water Act is required for taking & storing water associated with watercourses; In designated areas, groundwater and overland flow (flood water) is managed through licences.
Water Resource Planning cont’d
Under the Water Act (2000), there is a two part water planning process: Part (1) Water Resource Plan (WRP)
strategic framework for allocating and managing water; prepared by the Minister for Water;
Contain water sharing rules and trading rules (permanent and seasonal); Contain rules for the granting of any new water entitlements; Specify water infrastructure operating and environmental management rules; Detail future monitoring & reporting requirements;
Part (2) Resource Opeห้องสมุดไป่ตู้ations Plan (ROP)
implements the framework and details day-to-day rules for managing an area’s water resources. prepared by the Chief Executive of the Department.
