水务部长罗斯·杰克逊 (Rose Jackson) 提议向北部高地的水坝所有者征收安全税，将责任从政府资助的新南威尔士州水坝安全机构转移出去。 Water Minister Rose Jackson proposes a safety levy for dam owners in Northern Tablelands, shifting the responsibility from the government-funded body Dams Safety NSW. 独立定价与监管法庭的任务是提出建议，以收回监测大坝安全的成本。 The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal is tasked to suggest ways to recover the costs of monitoring dam safety. 此举促使当地政界人士采取行动，因为比尔迪沃特斯水坝、查菲水坝、科佩顿水坝、因弗雷尔水坝、马尔帕斯水坝、平达里水坝和坦特菲尔德水坝等水坝可能会受到征税的影响。 This move has stirred local politicians into action, as some dams like Beardy Waters, Chaffey, Copeton, Inverell, Malpas, Pindari, and Tenterfield could be impacted by the levy.
