Water Savings Action Plans
All large water users across greater Sydney are required to prepare Water Savings Action Plans under legislation introduced in 2005.
This will help encourage better knowledge of how and where water is being used in their operations and identify opportunities for savings.
Savings action plans are administered under the NSW Climate Change Fund. They are required from businesses using more than 50 million litres of water a year and all local councils in Sydney. To 30 June 2008, 222 Water Savings Action Plans have been approved, identifying 1,830 cost effective actions to save more than 7.3 billion litres of water and $14.7 million on water bills a year.
To find out more visit the Department of Environment and Climate Change website or view Chapter 6 of the Plan.
