Water Management

Water management has evolved as the principal focus of Western Land Planning’s current work in the area of natural resource management. In October, 2007, Western Land Planning secured a $500 000 federal government grant obtained from the $10 billion National Water Initiative. This funding has been made available for a feasibility study into a range of measures outlined by Western Land Planning for the modernisation of irrigation delivery systems for the Trangie-Nevertire Irrigation Scheme, located in the lower Macquarie Valley in central New South Wales.

Western Land Planning continues to build associations with irrigators and industrial water users across eastern Australia. Western Land Planning is currently in negotiation with irrigators from northern Queensland as well as a number of irrigation scheme committees throughout the Murray Darling Basin.
