Developing irrigation sustainably

The Southwest Victorian Irrigation Development Guidelines are now available help make our agricultural region even more sustainable: economically, productively and environmentally.

As well as there being a range of values recognised by the wider community for a healthy agricultural industry, environment and culture, there are also a range of legislative and procedural requirements to uphold as part of irrigation development applications.

The process of applying for a new irrigation development or altering an existing development has in the past been complex for the applicant and agencies.

Irrigation districts around the state have seen the benefits of a streamlined set of Irrigation Development Guidelines, and now so can Southwest Victoria.

You can FIND OUT MORE HERE on our website including downloading the full guidelines, access fact sheets and find contact details for staff to ask questions.
