The function of this program is to coordinate the Salinity Management Program within the Department of Water and with other state and national agencies. It ensures that all salinity projects are working towards the objectives of the salinity program — the ‘big picture’ — and closely involves regional staff and stakeholders, especially in the Water Resource Recovery Catchments.
The objectives of this program are to:
- coordinate the DoW Salinity Management Program to achieve the State’s Salinity Strategy goals
- provide advice and support to strategic salinity issues across government, such as the NRM Council, Senior Officers Group, and the Research and Development Technical Committee of the NRM Council.
