IRRIGATION
Pipeline to Prosperity: building infrastructure for Tasmania’s irrigation future Irrigated agriculture contributes more than 50 per cent of the value of Tasmania’s agricultural production from eight per cent of the land, with the State Government aiming to further grow the farm gate value of the agricultural sector to $10 billion by 2050 through investment in irrigation infrastructure. The Pipeline to Prosperity program is the third tranche of irrigation schemes being delivered by Tasmanian Irrigation consisting of ten proposed projects – eight new schemes and two scheme augmentations. Here, we take a look at the projects, what infrastructure they are proposing and at what stage of development they’re at.
