Context and evidence
The NSW Government’s Greater Sydney Water Strategy addresses the region’s long-term water services, including Sydney, the Illawarra and Blue Mountains. It covers water, wastewater, recycled water and stormwater. This page summarises the strategy, not the delivery status of individual projects.
The stated direction
The official overview prioritises conservation and efficiency and better use of existing assets, including operation of the Sydney Desalination Plant. It also links the strategy to a complementary drought response plan. Read the source for the complete programme and subsequent updates.
