EDO welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Queensland Water Legislation Amendment Bill 2022. EDO has consistently argued for improved metering and measurement of extractions, greater transparency with respect to usage and account data and greater protection of environmental flows across all Murray Darling Basin (MDB) jurisdictions. Our submission recommends improvements to the proposed amendments to the Water Act 2000 (Qld) to ensure Queensland adopts a best practice metering framework.
