Water licences integral to wine business

摘要

Mellor Olsson lawyer, Anthony Kelly, who specialises in environmental law, said that climate change was now considered a serious public issue and as a result State and Commonwealth Governments were focused on water issues. "Both Governments are interested in the impact of drought on agricultural and horticultural industries - and this includes viticulture. "The State Government has already taken action by increasing the number of 'prescribed' areas in South Australia. This was due to the rate at which water was being used and the long-term impact of this water usage," Kelly said.
