Farm Water Rebate Scheme

The Farm Water Rebate Scheme (FWRS) is another of the water supply initiatives administered under the Department of Water's Rural Water Planning Program.

The aim of the FWRS is to encourage commercial farmers in dryland agricultural areas (areas receiving less than 600mm average annual rainfall) to implement on-farm water supply improvements in order to address identified areas of water deficiency, better manage existing water supplies and reduce water wastage.

The FWRS replaces the Farm Water Grants Scheme and follows on from the comprehensive farm water supply audit and planning process described under the Farm Water Supply Planning Scheme section. Rebates are available for selected on-farm water supply improvements which are identified during the farm water supply audit and planning process and approved by the Department of Water following lodgement of a Farm Water Supply Plan. The rebates cover the development and installation of reliable on-farm water supplies for domestic, crop spray and livestock use.

In order to access rebates under the FWRS, you must first complete the farm water supply audit and planning process under the Farm Water Supply Planning Scheme.

An information booklet on both the FWRS and FWSPS is available by clicking here (Information for applicants) - Click here. for the application form.
