Private Irrigation Infrastructure Operators Program in New South Wales
Call for applications now open
As part of Water for the Future, the Australian Government is calling for applications for the Private Irrigation Infrastructure Operators Program in New South Wales.
Private irrigation infrastructure operators within the Murray-Darling Basin in NSW are invited to submit proposals for projects that will generate water savings. The program aims to acquire water entitlements resulting from these water savings. These projects will improve the efficiency and productivity of water use and management, both off and on-farm, by private irrigation infrastructure operators.
These projects will allow private irrigation infrastructure operators and their customers to minimise water losses and manage their water allocations more efficiently. They will also assist dependent irrigation communities to adapt to a future scenario of reduced water availability due to climate change.
The total funding commitment for this program is a notional $650 million.
