THE Limestone Coast Landscape Board is seeking expressions of interest from individuals, industry and community group representatives interested in joining a stakeholder advisory group to commence the review the Lower Limestone Coast Water Allocation Plan.
The stakeholder advisory group will provide objective advice and recommend if the current plan for the LLC Prescribed Wells area -adopted in November 2013 -remains appropriate or if change is needed for the sustainable use of water in the area.

This first stage is expected to be completed by December 2023.
Under the Landscape South Australia Act 2019 a water allocation plan must be reviewed on a comprehensive basis at least once in every 10 years.

Limestone Coast Landscape Board chair Penny Schulz said the group would support the comprehensive review of the water allocation plan and needed to represent the diversity of community, primary production, environment and industry.
"If you are passionate about water resource management in the Lower Limestone Coast, this is an opportunity for you or your group to inform the planning for sustainable water use, balancing the needs of the environment, industry, social and culture for this precious resource,"
"It is an opportunity for primary producers, community representatives and water users to have a direct role in informing the review."
The stakeholder advisory group along with broad stakeholder consultation will be critical in achieving a meaningful evaluation of the principles and success of the current WAP and assessing whether it requires amendment.
"We encourage individuals or groups interested in joining the stakeholder advisory group to visit the www.engage.lclandscapesa.com.au/llcwap to access the Terms of Reference and further information pertaining to the LLC WAP review," LCLB general manager Steve Bourne said.
