Sustainable Irrigation

The Sustainable Irrigation in West Gippsland Program seeks to achieve a highly productive an sustainable irrigation community that values and protects its natural and cultural assets.

It does this by investing in priority activities as identified in the Lake Wellington Land and Water Management Plan (LWNP). Its function is to support irrigators to be as efficient as possible while protecting the natural assets within the Gippsland Lake catchment.
