81st National Conference
"The future of Water Security"
Join us in Griffith, where local, technical, and political leaders will come together to tackle the big issues of the Basin and forge a future for councils, catchments, and communities.
Located in the South-west of NSW, Griffith is an agriculturally rich region heavily reliant on irrigation from the Murrumbidgee River. Griffith’s prosperity and sustainability are directly linked to the water availability managed by the Murray-Darling Basin Authority.
A lively, cosmopolitan city, Griffith is a hub to the surrounding farming districts! With great local food producers, Wineries, Breweries, Distilleries and passionate chefs it is little wonder Griffith has become the newest destination for foodies! Griffith will delight you from start to finish. One short stay will not be enough!
The National Conference is an incredible opportunity for our local leaders to come together from across the Murray-Darling Basin to be part of the solution – to join the conversation, to inform future policy, and to engage with leading innovators, scientists, educators, and leaders of our time.
The conference will feature keynote speakers and panel sessions including industry heads, State and Federal Government Ministers and representatives, as well as scientists and educators presenting on topical issues that affect the Murray-Darling Basin water resources and communities.

The purpose of the MDA is to provide effective representation of local government and communities at state and federal level in the management of Basin resources by exchanging information, facilitating debate, and seeking to influence government policy.
Motions resolved at the AGM form the foundations of the MDA’s leadership and advocacy work for the year and years ahead.
The Murray Darling Association would like to thank the incredible work and support of the Tamworth Regional Council in the preparation and operation of the 2024 National Conference.
