The National On-Farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme is available to commercial farmers and pastoralists for improving livestock water infrastructure on properties throughout rural Western Australia regions identified by the state government as vulnerable to periods of dry conditions and on-farm water deficiencies.
If you are a commercial livestock farmer or pastoralist with a business experiencing or vulnerable to stock water deficiency, you may apply for rebate under National On-farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme. Rebates are available toward costs associated with on-farm water infrastructure that addresses livestock welfare needs and improves resilience against water deficiency.
The rebate is 25 per cent of the cost of purchase, delivery and if applicable, the labour costs to engage a person to install water infrastructure for animal welfare needs. The maximum that can be claimed per farm or pastoral business is $25 000.
The National On-Farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme is a three-year, $4.6 million Australian Government-funded initiative.
The scheme is administered in Western Australia by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation.
