Off-farm Efficiency Program New South Wales State-led Feasibility Project

This Schedule will support the New South Wales Off-farm Efficiency Program Feasibility Project (the Project). 

The Project will enable activities required to inform full project proposals that can be considered for funding through the Off-farm Efficiency Program. Activities may include ground surveys, soil testing, hydraulic modelling, detailed design, water loss calculations, cost estimation, water recovery and savings volumes verification, or other activities that are required to inform full project applications. 

Off-farm Efficiency Program: New South Wales State-led Murrumbidgee Irrigation Automation Finalisation Project

This Schedule will support the New South Wales Murrumbidgee Irrigation Automation Finalisation (MAIF) Project.

The MIAF Project will improve water delivery efficiency, increase delivery performance, support agricultural production and regional community, and increase water security across the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area, leading to improved agricultural activity and generating benefits for the local and regional communities.
