Water

Australia is the world’s driest continent and the crippling drought presently affecting most of the country dramatically underscores the increasing importance of careful planning and management of our limited water resources.

Adding to this the issues of climate change, population growth and increasing competition for access to scarce water resources, means that strategic planning for and effective management of Australian water resources is vital for the environment, secure supply of sound water, health of people and for economic development, and will continue to be a critical concern for governments and business across Australia.

Maddocks has a strong focus on water. Our experience draws on resources from across the firm to offer advice and legal services to all levels of government, to water companies and agencies and to clients in the private sector.
