Extend resourcing for the National Water Grid Authority to deliver committed water infrastructure projects and support its expanded remit.
The Government will provide $70.9 million over 11 years from 2023-24 to extend resourcing for the National Water Grid Authority to deliver committed water infrastructure projects and support its expanded remit. The Government will also reallocate $197.1 million over 6 years from 2023-24 from within the National Water Grid Fund to fund construction of 3 water infrastructure projects: * $109.0 million for the Northern Midlands Irrigation Scheme * $62.1 million for the Sassafras-Wesley Vale Irrigation Scheme * $26.1 million for the Quality Water for Wannon project. This measure builds on the 2022-23 October Budget measure titled National Water Grid - delivering commitments. The cost of this measure will be partially met from within the National Water Grid Fund.
