River Murray Lock 8 and Lock 9 Options Evaluation

One of the NSW Government’s major responses to the Murray Darling Basin Plan is the NSW Sustainable Diversion Limit Adjustment Mechanism (SDLAM) program. One of the SDLAM projects is aimed at changing the Lock 8 and Lock 9 weir pool operating levels from a fixed elevation to a seasonally varied pattern. The project will provide broad environmental benefits when delivered together with a number of measures for improving fish passage including projects on Frenchmans Creek and the Carrs, Cappitts and Bunbaroo Creeks.

Fifteen50 worked with the NSW DPIE to prepare an Options Evaluation assessment which will ensure the justification for the project and its delivery framework are consistent with the NSW Gateway (Gate 1) process.

Edward River Council Pump Assessments

Regional local government bodies that are managing ageing infrastructure require a considered approach to asset planning and management to balance their expenditure with customer service expectations.

The assessments are completed in accordance with the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia (IPWEA) codes.

NSW Floodplain Harvesting Measurement Policy Communications

The NSW Healthy Floodplains Project is reforming the management of water on NSW floodplains and is responsible for implementation of the Floodplain Harvesting Policy to license and limit floodplain harvesting water extractions.

Fifteen50 assisted the Healthy Floodplains Project in December 2019 by facilitating five focus groups throughout northern NSW Murray-Darling basin on the Draft Floodplain Harvesting Measurement Policy. Fifteen50 staff delivered these services based on our technical understanding of water measurement systems and our ability to communicate this with landowners and irrigators in simple language.
Fifteen50 is currently developing extension materials for floodplain harvesting licensees to understand their measurement compliance obligations under the Policy.

problem along the River Murray for decades and
