NSW Regional Water Strategy areas spatial dataset |
Abstract |
Regional water strategies (RWS) set the direction for water planning and management at a regional scale over the next 20-40 years. There are 14 regional water strategies (including Greater Sydney Water Strategy), tailored to the unique challenges and needs of each region. They have been developed in partnership with water service providers, local councils, communities, Aboriginal people and other stakeholders across NSW. The boundaries of regional water strategy areas define regions in NSW for which regional water strategies are prepared. The boundaries are based on several factors, including:
The boundaries of regional water strategy (RWS) areas mostly, but not exclusively, align with groups of water sharing plan boundaries for surface water sources:
The NSW Murray RWS also includes the area for the Wentworth weir pool. Its boundary is further defined using the Bureau of Meteorology’s (BoM) geofabric AHGF Catchment layer to include the catchments that incorporate the Wentworth Weir pool. The Fish River–Wywandy RWS boundary was also further defined using the BoM geofabric, local council boundaries and National Parks Estate boundaries.

Lineage |
For coastal areas (South Coast RWS, North Coast RWS, Far North Coast RWS, Greater Hunter RWS) the region boundaries align with, and were developed from, Water Sharing Plan boundaries. For inland areas, RWS boundaries align with, and were developed from, Water Resource Plan boundaries. The Murray RWS boundary is further defined using the Geoscience Australia’s geofabric dataHR_Regions layer. |
