  1. Policy Reforms – Roadblock or Pathways to Irrigation Success

  2. WHAt Does Success Look LIKE? • Reliability of supply • modernisation • integrated dynamic network • new development • Efficient Water Use • SMART Irrigators • transfer • Land management • continuously evolving • ‘best can do’ • accountable

  3. Roadblocks • Infrastructure • governance & management • financing (market failure) • Water use • measurement • transfer • efficiency incentives • Land management • nutrient efficiency • improve “hot-spots”

  4. Policy Developments To Date • Water Measurement Regulations • Irrigation Acceleration Fund • Crown Irrigation Investments Limited • Freshwater National Policy Statement • RMA & Freshwater NPS reforms

  5. Water Measurement RegUlation • Benefits • essential • good process • Challenges • implementation • regional compliance interpretation • verification of meters • data management • ‘telling the story’

  6. Irrigation Acceleration Fund • Benefits • new level of scrutiny • proactive approach • lifted the game • Challenges • scheme discovery process • need to grow the fund • limited to infrastructure • ‘telling the story’

  7. CROWn Irrigation Investments LTD • Benefits • scrutiny • reduce risk • provide for uptake gap • provide for over build • Challenges • CIIL discovery process • investment ready schemes • initial investment criteria • ‘telling the story’

  8. FRESHWATER NPS • Benefits • sets framework • Challenges • interpretation • values – which & weighting? • objectives –how & what? • limits – how & what? • manage within limits – how? • Implementation • policy versus compliance • quantity – manageable • quality – voyage of discovery!

  9. Reforms – RMA & FRESHWATER NPS • Benefits • accounting • planning template • collaborative process • clarity (NOF) • focus ‘resource management’ • Challenges • managing within limits • practical implementation

  10. FUTURE - Managing UNcertainty • Enabling investment key - requires ‘relative’ certainty • The conundrum - • Measurement • Monitoring • Modelling • Challenge = fitting puzzle together • ‘Incremental’ versus ‘shock’ change • Apportion risk to create ‘relative’ certainty within uncertainty

  11. FUTURE - IMPLEMENTATION • SUCCESSFUL CHANGE = • Collaboration - Policy - Implementation • Efficient & Effective Preparation Action Follow-up

  12. FUTURE Focus • Consistency • leadership • local adaption not creation • Policy Development • link to implementation & other interventions • Compliance • consistent with policy • Uncertainty & Risk • apportion - create certainty • People • Critical path • Success = understand, see, do
