Walgett mayor Jasen Ramien has acknowledged the work done in his community and NSW Government action to address community concerns about water security in Western NSW, by ensuring new fishway designs have no impact on local weir heights.
The mayor said for Walgett Shire, the stakes were high.
“Council made it clear from the outset that any reduction to the existing weir pool was unacceptable, working relentlessly to ensure the voices of Walgett residents were heard loud and clear.”
