Transition to Winter Operations This Operational Update provides details about the transition from Regular Operation to Winter Operations, as outlined in the Season Operating Plan . During the Winter Operations period, our aim is to maximise your access to water ordering while accomplishing the winter maintenance program on time and on budget. Order cutoff date and notice period Customers are requested to place orders by Wednesday 1 May for water delivery in May or June . This will assist us to fit with your irrigation plans as best as possible. The current notice period for water orders is up to one day. During the transition to winter operations, a four-day notice period for orders may be required. We will send you an SMS to let you know if there is any change to your outlet as per our normal practice. Water Delivery The Mulwala Canal (Operational Area 1) will be closed this year as it will be drained for scheduled maintenance. WaterNSW has advised it plans to lower the Stevens Weir pool during winter for approximately four to five weeks. Outside of this period, Wakool customers may have access to irrigation water during Winter Operations. Please provide us with as much notice as possible of your irrigation plans during May and June so we can align water deliveries with the timing of WaterNSW’s maintenance. WaterNSW will accommodate our demand where possible. Guaranteed Dates Murray Irrigation expects to release the guaranteed delivery dates by the first week of May. While we aim to maximise your access to water delivery during this period, after the guaranteed delivery date, access to water delivery, including stock and domestic water, is opportunistic and cannot be guaranteed. Preparation for Winter Operations The Winter Operations period occurs each year during May to August, when Murray Irrigation operates the channel system to allow winter maintenance work. During the transition to Winter Operations, you can help us prepare and assist us by: placing your orders as early as possible, letting us know if you expect to irrigate in May or June, even if you are not certain, as orders can be altered or cancelled, filling dams for your stock and domestic needs over winter, and being aware that we may require four days’ notice for new order starts. In preparation for the winter maintenance, you will see an increase in vehicle and heavy machinery on and around your landholding, our channels, and bridges. This can include, material delivery, grading of tracks and building silt traps, as an example. Safety is our main priority, please be vigilant with the increased activity on roads and channels. Stock & Domestic reminder – fill dams now Water may not be available over winter for stock and domestic supplies because: you are in an area scheduled for maintenance, or levels in your channel section may not be high enough to allow water delivery. Please fill dams now to ensure you have adequate water supplies through until mid-August. Other works during winter Throughout the period of Winter Operations, urgent repairs will also need to be undertaken in areas not scheduled for maintenance. Our normal process will be followed for other works, with customers notified about two weeks before works commence to coordinate the activity.

General Meeting Results

Voting at this Wednesday's General Meeting

Ladies and Gentlemen, In recognition of the difficult circumstances Murray Irrigation and its shareholders are currently facing, the company is extending its Employee Assistance Program (EAP) free of charge to all shareholders for the next 30 days. What is EAP? EAP provides free, professional and confidential counselling services to assist you and your immediate family members through both personal and work-related problems, including: W ork pressures Personal trauma Child and family issues Grief and bereavement Financial and legal issues Separation, divorce, or relationship difficulties Stress, anxiety, conflict, tension, and depression Health and lifestyle issues (including drugs, alcohol and gambling). EAP counsellors are qualified, experienced professionals who have extensive training in counselling and workplace consulting. How do you access this service? To access this service, shareholders can call AccessEAP on 1800 818 728 and advise the call receiver you are a MIL shareholder. This will provide you with the same level of confidential counselling services that are available to our staff. Throughout this 30 day time period, AccessEAP is also providing an additional dedicated phone support service, where 30-minute confidential counselling sessions can be pre-booked saving you the time of waiting in a telephone que to speak with a counsellor. You can make a confidential booking for this service via this link . In addition to this, Murray Irrigation has organised for an AccessEAP Clinical Response Counsellor to be onsite on Wednesday 10 April and Thursday 11 April between 10am-4pm which shareholders are more than welcome to utilise. We’d like to reiterate that this service is entirely confidential and available to all shareholders who feel they need extra care and support through this time. No Murray Irrigation staff or Board member will be made aware of the identity or discussions taken place as part of this service offering. It is our hope that any shareholder who feels unsettled, upset or concerned for any reason during this period utilises this service. Regards Chair, Phil Snowden and CEO, Ron McCalman

Ladies and gentlemen, With the online voting for the general meeting opening tomorrow, Wednesday 3 April, I’d like to remind you of the importance of voting. Historically, participation in MIL voting can be as low as 40%. This could prove to be the most important shareholder vote since privatisation. Shareholders are being asked to vote FOR (yes) or AGAINST (no) to the two resolutions to remove Non-Member Directors Trisha Gorman and Robert Burbury from the Murray Irrigation Board. I strongly encourage all shareholders to involve yourselves in the voting process, to ensure the outcome on 10 April represents the majority view of the footprint, not the minority. Recommendation - vote NO (AGAINST) Deputy Chair Lachlan Marshall and I will be voting 'NO' to the proposed resolutions to remove the non-member directors and we urge other shareholders to also vote 'NO'. Our reasons are set out in the notice of meeting. Our positions if non-member directors are removed After carefully considering our position further, we feel so strongly that Steve Fawns, Brendan Barry and Troy Mauger have behaved in such an unreasonably disruptive political way, that if shareholders support their resolutions to remove the non-member directors, Lachlan and I will resign as directors. This is because if we were to continue on a Board with them, we would be compromising our morals and integrity. The CEO Ron McCalman will also step down on the afternoon of the General Meeting if the Yes vote is successful. What will happen if non-member directors are not removed? If the NO VOTE is successful, we will be calling for nominations to fill the casual vacancies left by these three requisitioning directors. The nominations will be independently assessed for the skills and experience they can bring to the Board and then voted on by shareholders at this year’s AGM. It is our hope that a number of women and the younger generation of irrigators put their hand up for the roles, as the diversity this will bring to the current skill set of the Board, we believe, will bring great value to the future of MIL. We have an absolute commitment to the future of MIL and hope common-sense will prevail, for the betterment of our company and all shareholders.
