Particularly when conditions are dry, as is the case currently, irrigation is an issue that’s front-of-mind for farmers.
CRPA members have been keeping up-to-date with the latest irrigation information, both for the current season, and long term.
Andrew Kneebone, Tasmanian Irrigation CEO, was the guest speaker at CRPA’s AGM in October, presenting an update on the future Greater South East Irrigation Scheme, and water pricing for the current Stage 2 and 3 schemes. This was an insightful presentation, and Andrew provided detailed information in response to questions from members.
CRPA is actively working with Tasmanian Irrigation and TasWater, representing member irrigators. Any irrigators (or potential irrigators on the new Greater South East Irrigation Scheme) can keep informed and have their say by joining CRPA.
