water metering and measurement

Water Legislation Amendment Bill 2022

This bill strengthens how non-urban water take is measured and reported in Queensland, implementing the state's strengthened water measurement policy. It introduces requirements for measurement devices, measurement systems, measurement plans, and near real-time telemetry to ensure water is accurately accounted for, particularly in the Murray-Darling Basin. The bill also improves water licence administration, water authority governance, and drinking and recycled water regulation.
