Roles and responsibilities mapping for water quality in NSW illustrates that water quality as a function is not the sole responsibility of any one agency or organisation. The analysis undertaken as part of the development of this roadmap found that over 30 agencies or organisations have either direct or indirect water quality functions. The National Water Quality Management Strategy provides a national framework
for improving water quality in Australia’s waterways. The main policy objective of the strategy is to achieve sustainable use of the nation’s water resources by protecting and enhancing their quality, while maintaining economic and social development. The National Water Quality
Management Strategy has been adopted by the NSW Government to manage the quality of waterways in NSW and protect water resources.
