About the draft LNS Regulation

The draft LNS Regulation and negotiation guidelines outline the approach the NSW Government will take when negotiating voluntary agreements with landholders affected by future environmental water deliveries at higher flow levels, or under different regimes, than current operating practice.

Where landholders are identified as being affected by these flow deliveries, the NSW Government has committed to mitigating impacts through agreements reached with landholders.  

The draft LNS Regulation is designed to protect the interests of landholders and ensure all negotiations are conducted in good faith.

The LNS would be established through an amendment to the Water Management (General) Regulation 2018, under the Water Management Act 2000.
