Private Irrigation Infrastructure Operators Program
in New South Wales
Under the Inter-governmental Agreement on Murray-Darling Basin Reform, the Australian Government committed to provide up to $650 million to private irrigation infrastructure operators in New South Wales to modernise and upgrade irrigation infrastructure.
The Private Irrigation Infrastructure Operators Program in New South Wales delivers on this commitment.
The program aims to acquire water entitlements resulting from water savings generated by projects that improve the efficiency and productivity of water use and management, both off and on-farm, by private irrigation infrastructure operators. The program will also help secure a sustainable future for irrigation communities as a part of Water for the Future, a ten year, $12.9 billion investment in strategic programs, improved water management arrangements, and a renewed commitment to water reform nationally.
