Off-Farm Efficiency Program

The Commonwealth is providing funding to support NSW in delivering the Nap Nap Station Water Efficiency Project. The project will modernise water infrastructure at Nap Nap Station. 

This Schedule will support the Victorian Lower Murray Water (LMW) Water Efficiency Project (Victorian LMW-WEP). 

The Victorian LMW-WEP will recover an estimated 2.5 gigalitres (GL) of Long-Term Average Annual Yield (LTAAY), with the transfer of water entitlements to 1.8 GL LTAAY of water to the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth is providing funding to support South Australia's delivery of the Marion Water Efficiency Project. Through this project, South Australia will substitute the River Murray water used for open space irrigation in metropolitan Adelaide with treated stormwater from an existing scheme at Oaklands Park.

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. 

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. 

This Schedule will support the Goulburn-Murray Water (GMW) Water Efficiency Project to recover 15.9GL of water and facilitate environmental watering across the Goulburn-Murray Irrigation District and Murray-Darling Basin. It will lead to improved agricultural activity and generate benefits for local and regional communities.
