A once-in-a-decade review of Australia’s largest river system is underway – and public submissions will help shape what comes next.
Join Environmental Justice Australia and the Murray-Darling Conservation Alliance to understand what’s at stake and how to make a submission that has real impact.
This session is for anyone who cares about the Murray-Darling Basin – from people living along the riverbanks to community groups, individuals, water law nerds, and citizen scientists.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
In this webinar, legal experts from EJA and environmental experts from the Murray-Darling Conservation Alliance will break down the Murray-Darling Basin Plan review in clear, practical terms.
We’ll explain what the Basin Plan is, why this review matters now, the key issues under review, where current laws are falling short, and what decision-makers are looking for in submissions.
We’ll also explore how community voices can influence outcomes and share practical guidance to help you prepare a strong, effective submission.
You’ll also get the chance to put your questions directly to the panel.
By the end of this session, attendees will:
- understand what’s at stake for the Murray-Darling Basin
- feel confident navigating the review process
- know how to write and submit a strong, effective submission
- have practical tools and tips you can use straight away
It is a free event and open to the public. Please feel free to share it with your networks.
Why this matters
The Murray-Darling Basin is under pressure from over-extraction and climate change, and the current management plan is not delivering for rivers, the environment, or communities.
This once-in-a-decade review is a critical chance to reshape how water is shared for years to come. But without strong public input, the same problems risk being locked in.
For many people, the review process can feel complex and inaccessible. This webinar cuts through that complexity, helping you understand how the review works, what’s at stake, and how to have your say.
Join us online on Wednesday 15 April to hear from EJA’s legal experts and get the tools you need to make your submission count.
