On-farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Livestock farmers can receive a rebate on costs for water infrastructure like tanks and pipes to improve water security on their property.

This rebate helps livestock farmers improve their water security by providing financial support for essential water infrastructure.

Who it's for

This scheme is designed for livestock farmers who need to improve the reliability of the water supply on their land.

What you get

You can receive a rebate covering up to 25% of the costs for specific water infrastructure. This includes items such as pipes, tanks, and troughs.

What it costs you

To claim the rebate, you must keep and provide receipts for all purchases and any installation work performed.

The catch to know

You must pay for all the infrastructure and installation work upfront. The rebate is a reimbursement, so you need to have the cash available to cover the full cost before you apply.

How to apply

  1. Identify the water infrastructure needs on your farm.
  2. Purchase the necessary equipment and arrange for installation.
  3. Save all official receipts and documentation for the work and materials.
  4. Check the official government portal for specific submission instructions and current eligibility details.
