Factsheets

A series of five factsheets have been developed by the Stakeholder Advisory Group further exploring the key concepts identified in the Padthaway WAP review so far.

These factsheets group the issues into five main themes;

• FS1 Padthaway WAP Licensing Instruments
  
• FS2 Padthaway WAP Classes of Water Access Entitlement
• FS3 Padthaway WAP Consumptive Pools
• FS4 Padthaway WAP Adaptive Management
• FS5 Padthaway WAP Trades and Transfer
  

These factsheets identify options to address each issue and potential next steps for the Stakeholder Advisory Group to consider when developing a preferred approach to each issue.
