This position statement was prepared in conjunction with our Murray-Darling Basin Position Statement and our Positon Statement on reliability of water entitlements and our guiding principles. 

Approved 17 July 2025.]]> https://www.irrigators.org.au/media/website_posts/884/Policy-Position-icon.png page https://www.irrigators.org.au/policy/position-statement/enabling-cultural-objectives-in-water-management/ 2025-07-20 14:00:00 837 416
We note, that for 2025 actions the priorities will be to develop a First Nations Water Strategy to inform Commonwealth actions under the proposed National Water Agreement. As well as, the Commonwealth continues to work with jurisdictions and a Coalition of Peaks to develop the inland waters target to measure progress towards securing First Nation peoples interest in inland water bodies. 

Under Objective 15 there are current targets for land and sea, but the inland target was not nationally agreed.

We hope to have a Member Policy update on this in the coming month.
