Abstract

water planning

transparency

deliberation

trade-offs

deliberative multi-criteria evaluation

social assessment

The building of robust and transparent trade-offs needs to be supported by a sound understanding of the water planning process, baseline conditions, and the range of interests and values that might be affected. To this end, several tools were tested for identifying interests and values and assessing how they might be impacted by change. These included a social impact study in South Australia and irrigator and stakeholder surveys in the Condamine, Queensland. A participatory approach to multiple criteria analysis was also trialled to assist understanding of preferences and values in water allocation trade-off deliberations. Evaluations of the use of these tools demonstrate their functionality in eliciting stakeholder values and expectations of procedural and distributional equity, and help bring transparency to the logic behind the water planning decision-making process.
