Compliance & Monitoring

Annual Compliance Reporting

We produce an annual compliance report in accordance with our operating and environmental licences.


Compliance reports contain detailed technical data on a range of required environmental and operational parameters.


The climatic conditions in the area influence every aspect of these reports. The climate determines the volume of water available for irrigation, the volume of water used for irrigation, the volume of water discharged from the area and the rate of evaporation.

2022 Flood Event Drainage System Review Findings & Recommendations Report

In December 2022 Murray Irrigation commissioned Incident Cause Analysis Method (ICAM) investigator, SAFCOM Risk Management, to examine and report on the effectiveness of Murray Irrigation's drainage system infrastructure and processes in responding to the major rain events that occurred in October and November 2022. 

 

The report sets out the lessons learned from the flood response, and contains a number of recommendations for areas of improvement.


In response, Murray Irrigation is developing a comprehensive action plan that seeks to systematically address these recommendations, including improved engagement with key local stakeholders. Once complete, the Board will oversee the implementation of this action plan.
