Resilient Rivers Water Infrastructure Program

Grant Closes: 28th of March 2025 (subject to available funding) Run By: Australian Government Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water Further Information: https://www.dcceew.gov.au/water/policy/programs/open/rrwip

The Resilient Rivers Water Infrastructure Program (the RRWIP)  builds on and replaces the Off-farm Efficiency Program and is part of the Australian Government’s commitment to recover water for the environment. It aims to provide a more flexible approach for investment than in previous efficiency measures programs for achieving the 450 GL water recovery target.

The RRWIP invests in a range of projects and arrangements to improve and modernise water delivery infrastructure to reduce water loss in the Murray–Darling Basin. 

Improving water use and water management efficiency will provide long term benefits to irrigators by improving infrastructure and help Basin communities adapt to climate change, manage the impact of greater variation in water availability and reliability and support the ongoing viability of production into the future.

On 7 June 2024, the Minister for Environment and Water approved an extension of time for elements of the program. The below information includes the revised timeframes.
