The 2018 modernisation works are building on from the automation of the Main Canal that was completed last year and takes the total PIIOP investment by the Australian government in our region, to support the implementation of the Basin Plan, to almost $348 million.
MI chief executive officer Brett Jones said the current modernisation works have been critical for customers and the company to maximise the benefits of the projects already completed across the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.
“By building a better network we are enabling our existing and new customers to grow their business and continue to contribute to the prosperous and vibrant region that is the MIA,” he said.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reduce our operating costs, increase flow capacity, improve supply reliability and set up the region for the future.”
