About the review report
The Australian Government Minister for Climate Change and Water, announced Water for the Future in April 2008 with funding of $12.9 billion. Within the policy was provision for $3.1 billion to buyback water entitlements through willing sellers to address over allocation in the Murray-Darling Basin. The Minister announced an allocation of $50 million for the first round of water entitlement purchasing (WPP) in February 2008 closing in June 30 2008. The Minister undertook to complete a review of the WPP after the first round of purchases was completed. Hyder Consulting in association with Access Economics was engaged to undertake this review.
