The Emergency Water Rebate is open to eligible farmers in New South Wales, with $12 million offered
by the Federal and New South Wales Governments. Applications can be made via the NSE Rural
Assistance Authority website. Please consult your Local Land Services before proceeding with
applications, to make sure you are fully aware of all conditions to the rebate scheme.

 

Farmers in New South Wales can now claim up to $25,000 for water infrastructure improvements on
their properties. Claims for expenses from 1st July 2018 are covered under the scheme, which allows
eligible farmers to recover 25 per cent of expenses related to new purchases and installation of
on-farm
water infrastructure.

 

Water infrastructure can cover works such as; pipes, water storages, de-silting dams and associated
water pumps and power supplies. A maximum of $25,000 can be claimed by a given farmer subject to
availability of the $12million offered by the NSW and Federal Government.
