About the Murray–Darling Basin Authority
The Murray–Darling Basin Authority's principal aim is to manage the Basin's water resources in the national interest.
The establishment of the MDBA means that, for the first time, a single agency is now responsible for planning integrated management of the water resources of the Murray–Darling Basin.
In December 2008, MDBA assumed responsibility for all of the functions of the former Murray–Darling Basin Commission.
The Authority is made up of six members who are supported by an office of around 300 staff. The Ministerial Council and the Basin Officials Committee play important roles in providing advice and making high level decisions relating to the functions of the MDBA.
What we do
Our main roles and responsibilities include:
Preparing the Basin Plan for adoption by the Minister for Climate Change, Energy Efficiency and Water implementing and enforcing the Basin Plan
Advising the minister on the accreditation of state water resource plans
Developing a water rights information service which facilitates water trading across the Murray–Darling Basin
Measuring and monitoring water resources in the Basin
gathering information and undertaking research
Educating and engaging the community in the management of the Basin's resources
