Chief executive of the Murray–Darling Basin Authority Phillip Glyde will next week make the journey north to meet with local stakeholders in regards to the review. 

Mr Glyde will visit Moree, Goondiwindi and Texas next week to talk with and gain feedback from local growers, stakeholders, and community members.

These stakeholder meetings are not open to the general public. 

A former head of the national commodity forecaster ABARES, with a background in natural resource management, Mr Glyde was acting secretary of the agriculture department for half of 2015. 

In his decade with the department, he led the response on issues including live exports, drought and agricultural policy.

Agriculture and Water Resources Minister Barnaby Joyce welcomed the appointment late last year saying Mr Glyde "brings a high level of expertise and experience" to the role.

"He has a proven track record in financial management and public sector governance, as well as experience leading professional teams and setting strategic vision," Minister Joyce said in a statement at the time. 

Phase three detailed in the timeline for the Northern Basin Review that consideration of results and decision making is aimed for completion in mid 2016.

Based on this analysis, the MDBC will consider the setting of the northern basin limits, including the volume of the northern-shared reduction and the Condamine–Balonne local reduction.

Phase four of the plan is aimed for completion mid 2017 and involves amending the basin plan.
