More Ammendments Proposed For Basin Plan

Local MP Susan Ley has called for a new cap on recovered water in the Murray Darling Basin of 2,100.

Ms Ley has told parliament, Farrer farmers are upset by the last minute political deal, which allows a further 450 gigalitres of so-called upwater to be recovered, increasing the 2,750 gigalitre cap to 3,200.

She says in order for all parties to work together to achieve the right balance, the 450 gigalitres of upwater needs to be taken off the table, to give the environmental watering plan time to work.
