Contribution to All River Murray constraints (including below Yarrawonga) Moderate supply projects addressed - 50 to 100 GL confidence Investment Early work has shown that the Hume to Yarrawonga N/A considerations constraints program is a prerequisite program for the success of the project to provide additional environmental values on the River Murray. The likely significant add on benefit to the supply measure program Certainty of Low to moderate chance of not fully delivering the program Moderate implementation by 2024. The implications of not having the project in confidence within Basin Plan operation (i.e. the reconciliation for SDL adjustments) at that timeframes time would need discussion if it becomes apparent there is a high risk the project will not be delivered in the timeframe. General comment Project is of major significance to success of supply and efficiency measure programs. River Murray to Wakool Junction and downstream (including SA) –Yarrawonga Description Undertake a program of measures: to environmental flows of up to 65,000 ML/d to be targeted downstream of Yarrawonga generally in winter and spring; to better connect floodplains and wetlands with the river; and in conjunction with upstream constraint measures, to allow overbank flows to be delivered along the length of the River Murray and its effluent streams. Key criteria and stocktake assessment Assessment outcome Information adequacy Adequate for initial assessment of program. Low confidence Project progress Concepts and costs at the feasibility level have been Low confidence established and development of business case has commenced with the MDBA acting as the deliver agent for NSW and Victoria under the direction of a steering committee.
