Part E: Sub-Project Works Information

In this section, please enter a concise summary or the proposed works and provide costings for the sub-project.

Summary of Proposed Sub-Project WorksPlease provide a concise overall summary of the proposed works

Using colour makers or pens, please mark on the Landholding Map provided, the following:

Location of Murray Irrigation supply outlet Supply and Drainage Channels leading to and from the site Perimeter of proposed area of project on the Landholding Direction of water flow in Channels, Drains and Paddocks

Has this map been attached to this application? Yes No

Do you have a Technically Valid Farm Irrigation Plan? Yes No

If yes, please attach with your application.

If for a Works Area, you selected the same crop under your existing and proposed system, but seek a substantially increased yield (tonnage), please explain how you intend to achieve a much greater yield outcome with less water under your proposed system.

In order for the Commonwealth to technically assess the proposed water savings, please

provide details of any worthwhile features in your proposed system that may not be apparent from the information previously provided. This question is compulsory - please include. E.g. If you already have Automation and the proposed system will have Automation, however the proposed Automation is better and more versatile than the existing set-up that may further support your water savings. E.g. If your topsoil is sandy, resulting in high seepages losses from channels and your proposal includes cartage and laying of heavy clay as a base for your channels this may further support your water savings.
