This paper presents a nascent model of collaborative and adaptive water management from Tasmania that has the potential to inform water management practice, and to address key tensions between Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) and Adaptive Co-Management (ACM). IWRM as practised in Australia limits public participation and its rigid structures reduce its ability to be adaptive, while ACM lacks the accountability and transparency required of natural resource management policy in Australia. The model is proposed as a way to integrate the strengths of IWRM and ACM by increasing the involvement of stakeholders in water management and by creating a mechanism for social learning, innovation and adaptive management. This model is set out as a process flow, and discussed in terms of the complex interrelationships that drive its effectiveness and evolution. An evaluation framework is presented and applied.
