About Murray Irrigation

On 3 March 1995, NSW Government privatised the irrigation system in the NSW Murray Valley and Murray Irrigation Limited was born. We are an unlisted, public company. Our irrigators are also our shareholders and include 1,357 family-farm businesses.
We are licensed to operate by the NSW Government, and have 823,978 general security entitlements to the NSW Murray Regulated River resource (as at 30 June 2017). This represents more than 60 percent of all NSW Murray River general security entitlements.
