New South Wales Consolidated Regulations New South Wales Consolidated RegulationsThe objectives of this Plan are to:
(a) preserve the high conservation values of the Toorumbee Creek Water Source by limiting extraction from the river to basic landholder rights users, domestic and stock and unregulated river (Aboriginal cultural) access licence users, and by encouraging these users to adopt efficient practices during periods of very low flows,
(b) maintain high quality waters in the Toorumbee Creek Water Source,
(c) maintain or improve the overall health of the Macleay River catchment, its estuary and adjoining inshore waters, by enabling sufficient contributions to this system from Toorumbee Creek flows,
(d) protect and enhance water dependent ecosystems, threatened species and endangered ecological communities within the river by allowing only the holders of domestic and stock rights, native title rights, and domestic and stock and unregulated river (Aboriginal cultural) access licence users access to flows,
(e) protect water quality and habitat by protecting freshes and low flows throughout the river system by allowing only domestic and stock users, native title rights holders and Aboriginal people to access flows, and by encouraging these users to adopt efficient practices during periods of very low flows, and
(f) recognise and protect Aboriginal heritage sites and values in access management and water licensing decisions.
