  • Social Impact Assessment Possible Increased Flows Stage1 Vol2
    Disclaimer This report has been generated as part of the Living Murray initiative. Its contents do not represent the position of the Murray-Darling Basin Commission. It is presented as a document which informed discussion for improved management of the Basin’s natural resources in November 2003. Preparation of the social impact assessment scoping and profiling studies preceded the Living Murray First Step decision and the signing on 25 June 2004 at the Council of Australian Governments meeting of the Intergovernmental Agreement on Addressing Water Overallocation and Achieving Environmental Objectives in the Murray- Darling Basin. The communiqué from this COAG meeting is provided at www.coag.gov.au. These decisions provide the framework under which $500m will be invested by governments over 5 years to begin addressing water overallocation in the Murray-Darling Basin and achieve specific environmental outcomes in the Murray-Darling Basin. The first priority for this investment will be water recovery for six significant ecological assets first identified by the Murray-Darling Basin Ministerial Council in November 2003: the Barmah-Millewa Forest, Gunbower and Koondrook-Perricoota Forests, Hattah Lakes, Chowilla floodplain, the Lindsay-Wallpolla system, the Murray Mouth, Coorong and Lower Lakes, and the River Murray Channel. The water will come from a matrix of options with a priority for on-farm initiatives, efficiency gains, infrastructure improvements and rationalisation, and market based approaches, and purchase of water from willing sellers, rather than by way of compulsory acquisition. Consequently, the assumptions that were made to enable the social impact assessment scoping and profiling studies to be undertaken in mid 2003, while reasonable at the time, have been overtaken by these decisions and the consequential benefits that will flow from them.

Tonnes purchased may be slightly higher than the sum of tonnes in all price ranges as some fruit does not have a price specified. 2. Where there are fewer than three purchasers of a variety, the average price and total value are not reported. 3. The estimated non-response rate nationally is 9.5%; however, the non-response rate varies for each region. Generally, regions with more small wineries and less purchased fruit will have higher non-response rates. As the number and identity of respondents can change from year to year, changes in the size of the crush can be partly attributable to changes in the non-response rate.

Its current and future management will have a fundamental impact on the economic viability of many of the Basin’s regional communities. In some parts of the Basin, groundwater is an underutilised resource: in others, it is being used unsustainably. Groundwater bro-r 4/6/01 11:09 AM Page 2 The priorities for groundwater management vary across the Murray-Darling Basin. In the south, the major issues are rising groundwater levels and land and water salinisation. In the north, the issues are unsustainable demand and declining groundwater levels. Fundamental in all areas is the need to manage groundwater and surface water as two parts of one hydrological system.
