Engagement with NWI partners and stakeholders

Crucial to the success of AWR 2005 is the strong engagement with data providers, data coordinating committees, industry, the water resource community and the Commission.

To ensure that AWR 2005 is of relevance to all NWI parties, a Jurisdictional Reference Group (refer to the table below) has been established to provide input on the project development process and to ensure the best available data and processes are utilised. The Jurisdictional Reference Group will have a continued role during the delivery of AWR 2005.
