Director Peter Mogg urged anyone interested in submitting an application to do so.
“All projects must be submitted via one of the five landholder associations (LHA) at either Denimein, Deniboota, Wakool, West Berriquin or Berrigan Irrigators Council (BIC).
“More information can be found on our website,” Peter said.
All project proposals must fall under at least one or more of the three pillars of advocacy, education and research and development.
They must be of benefit to all irrigated properties in the NSW Murray Irrigation area or dryland properties that retain a water use license.
After the closing date, projects will be discussed on merit at the LHA level.
Any suitable project will then move on to the next phase for discussion with the Landholder Association Council.
The LAC is made up of a representative from each landholder association.
All applicants will be notified of their outcome before May 30.
“The amount of money we have available for project funding will vary each year, depending on the financial performance of the investment,” Mr Mogg said.
General information and expressions of interest forms are available on the website www.lwmp.com.au.
Riverina Sustainable LWMP funds are a legacy left over from the original LWMP which commenced in 1991 and finished in 2010.
At the time, the LWMP was considered the gold standard for community engagement in land and water practices.
Landholders within the Murray Irrigation Limited footprint partnered with state and federal governments to address the issues of the time that had the ability to impact on future profitability and sustainability of the region.
Any questions about the grants, or the LWMP, can be directed to office@lwmp.com.au.
