Sunbury-Bulla-Keilor Agricultural Rejuvenation
Location:
Estimated Cost:
The project would aim to construct a transfer pipeline, pumping infrastructure and distribution pipelines to enable recycled water use in the Sunbury- Bulla-Keilor agricultural area.
The pipeline aims to unlock existing dryland, irrigated cropping and grazing land, and also provide an alternate water source for the Sunbury-Bulla-Keilor region agricultural areas.
The preliminary business case will:
- determine infrastructure requirements and design;
- undertake cost estimates and cost benefit analysis;
- develop construction timeframes; and
- undertake due diligence for planning, cultural heritage and environmental issues.
The $0.5 million project is jointly funded by the Australian Government ($0.3 million), the Victorian Government and other partners ($0.3 million).
Please note figures are rounded.
Australian Government funding is provided through the National Water Grid Fund.
The project is underway, with the business case expected to be completed in early 2023.
