Measure description Coverage of the measure
The Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources has determined that new import conditions for breaded, battered and crumbed (BBC) prawns are required to manage the risks associated with the increased volume of BBC products imported into Australia. The revised BBC import conditions ensure that the import of BBC prawns can continue while achieving Australia's appropriate level of protection (ALOP)

Sustainable Rural Water Use and Infrastructure Program (SRWUIP):New South Wales State Water Metering Scheme (including pilot)

The Sustainable Rural Water Use and Infrastructure Program (SRWUIP) is an AUD10 billion national program investing in rural water use, management and efficiency, including improved water knowledge and market reform, and water purchase for the environment. It consists of three main components: irrigation infrastructure projects (including those projects listed below); water purchase and supply measures. The majority of SRWUIP infrastructure funds are committed to projects in the Murray-Darling Basin to support implementation of the Basin Plan and the reduction in the amount of water that can be extracted or taken annually from the Basin for consumptive use (urban, industrial and agricultural). A number of programs are aimed at improving the operation of off-farm irrigation delivery systems and helping irrigators improve on-farm water use efficiency. In return for funding, the water savings generated from these projects are shared between the Australian Government for environmental use, and irrigators for consumptive use.
