WATER SHARING PLAN FOR THE PATERSON REGULATED RIVER WATER SOURCE 2007 - REG 9

9 Vision

(1) The vision for this Plan is to achieve a healthy, diverse and productive regulated river water source providing sustainable management of the water source for the community, environment, towns, agriculture and industry.

(2) This Plan also recognises the following respect statement for Aboriginal values in the regulated river water source:

Life giving water is of extreme significance to Aboriginal culture for its domestic, traditional and spiritual values. Whilst water supplied for the environment will provide protection for native flora and fauna, fishing, food gathering and recreational activities, it is important that the community respects the spiritual significance of water to the Aboriginal people.
