"The water resource plans are a key requirement of the Murray Darling Basin Plan, and provide for the continuing and sustainable use of the Namoi groundwater resources into the future," NSW Water Minister Melinda Pavey said.
"We need to ensure we have a stronger focus on implementation of plans - this has been a legitimate criticism of the past."
"To this end, I've asked the department to ensure we have sufficient, ongoing and skilled resources to lead plan delivery and on-going review."
An information session will also be held in Wee Waa from 1.30-3.30pm on Monday, June 24, and Werris Creek from 10.45am-12.45pm on Wednesday, June 26.
