Review of the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder
During 2017, an independent review was commissioned and undertaken by the then Commonwealth Environmental Holder, Mr David Papps, to evaluate the effectiveness of the Office’s operations and business processes, which support the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder’s management of the Commonwealth environmental water holdings. The Review was finalised in November 2017 and the internal response was approved in January 2018.
