One hundred per cent of water entitlements have already been sold on the majority of Tasmanian Irrigation’s operational schemes around the State.
Limited entitlements on existing schemes are available for purchase by both landowners and investors.
Investigating new water products
Tasmanian Irrigation is investigating options to ensure that irrigators have access to all available water on a scheme, where unsold water capacity exists. This may include development of new water products.
Scottsdale Irrigation Scheme
Tasmanian Irrigation has been investigating the viability of an additional winter water product, which will convert Scottsdale to a year-round scheme.
Consultation has been undertaken with landowners in the district, which resulted in feedback on what irrigators want. Tasmanian Irrigation is now working with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to obtain additional water licenses that would enable offer of this new water product and will provide an update to irrigators as soon as possible.
