NSW Dept of Planning and Environment

The Healthy Rivers Commission (HRC) was established in November 1995 as part of the NSW Government's water reform programme. The Commission was established under section 23 of the State Pollution Control Commission Act 1970, but the precise date of commencement is difficult to determine. The purpose of the Commission was to conduct independent public Inquiries into selected NSW rivers and make recommendations to the government on appropriate long-term approaches and strategies to achieve environmental, social and economic objectives for the river systems investigated. Various government departments, including the Department of Land and Water Conservation, made submissions to the Healthy Rivers Commission. © State of New South Wales through Museums of History NSW
