Potential impacts of water buybacks

Coleambally Irrigation has been working together with Murray Irrigation and Murrumbidgee Irrigation, on funding for a feasibility study aimed at identifying pathways to minimise the impacts of water buybacks on our customers and our local community. 

These three organisations have collectively secured $6 million from the NSW Government as part of the Commonwealth-funded Resilient Rivers Water Infrastructure Program.  

For Coleambally Irrigation, a funded feasibility study will focus on exploring potential water-saving opportunities and other efficiency measures to determine whether further water savings are possible within our footprint. The Commonwealth and State Governments are likely to have an interest in opportunities to purchase water arising from any efficiency projects deemed viable, however please note that this feasibility study does not involve the transfer of water to the Government. 

To aid the success of the feasibility study, Coleambally Irrigation has partnered with an independent facilitator, GHD, to deliver a member and customer survey. Feedback will be used to assist with delivery demand expectations, and to inform future infrastructure investments as we contemplate a future with less supply certainty. It will help greatly if responses include information on farm numbers and Delivery Entitlements/Water Entitlements; however you may exclude this information if you wish to remain anonymous.

 Please complete the survey by clicking on the link below.
