In parallel, the government is working with Basin States towards full Basin Plan implementation by 1 July 2019, which is when the binding SDLs set by the Basin Plan will come into effect. It is also expected that by this time, all Basin State water resource plans will have been assessed by the MDBA as compliant with the Basin Plan and accredited by the Federal Minister.
