Irrigation allocations largely unchanged

The Resource Manager for northern Victoria announced the update on January 15.

Seasonal determinations in the Goulburn and Loddon systems are unchanged at 73 per cent HRWS.

The Bullarook seasonal determination remains at 33 per cent.

The Murray and Campaspe systems are unchanged at 100 per cent.

Resource Manager Andrew Shields said there was very little resource improvement since the last assessment.

“Warm and dry conditions across northern Victoria meant our operating requirements were close to our estimates and little additional resource is available,” Mr Shields said.

“A small amount of improvement in the Broken system allowed the increase to the Broken system seasonal determination.”
