Donnelly River allocation statement

Guidance
Water allocation limits for subareas Middle Donnelly, Upper Donnelly and Record Brook
Last updated:

We assessed water allocation limits for the Donnelly River to determine water availability for an irrigation scheme, while continuing to maintain water for environmental flows and current self-supply.

Most of the water allocation limits remain unchanged from those in the 2012 Warren-Donnelly surface water allocation plan. Only the three subareas upstream of the proposed scheme were adjusted - Middle Donnelly, Upper Donnelly and Record Brook.

The new water allocation limits were applied from 18 December 2018.
