The MDBA are accepting submissions formally until COB on Friday 17 December and have indicated they will consider submissions received after this date.
You can also ensure your views are considered by the Australian Government through the inquiries they’ve announced into the proposed Basin Plan.
If you like you can submit the same information in all three submissions.
The most important thing to consider in making a submission is how the proposed Basin Plan will affect you, your family, your business and your community.
Submissions can be sent electronically and, in the case of the Senate inquiry, this is preferred.
If you’re pressed for time, you can make your submission a short one.
