Thank you to Irrigators, vendors, stakeholders, and partners, for your continued participation in the Water Availability Engagement so far.
It is crucial the entire irrigated agriculture sector continue to speak up against potential changes to the Water Act which could see licenses clawed back, which would negatively impact food production and employment, and erode investor confidence in the region.
Sincerely,
David Westwood
General Manager
St. Mary River Irrigation District
