Murray–Darling Basin water reforms: Framework for evaluating progress

This Basin Plan evaluation framework outlines how the MDBA will work with partner governments and the community to evaluate:

• the implementation of the Plan—how well it has been put in place by all those with obligations outlined in the legislation; and how it is working administratively
• the effectiveness of this significant water reform package—whether the intended environmental, social and economic objectives and outcomes are being achieved.

The framework outlines the scope of the work, the questions that will be addressed, the evaluation methods, indicators that will be used to measure progress, the types of data that will be drawn upon and the roles and reporting by the people involved.
