The Marthaguy Irrigation Scheme (MIS) received Commonwealth funding under the Sustainable Rural Water Use and Infrastructure program, part of the Water for the Future initiative. The disclosed document is the 2011-12 work plan for "Greening the Marthaguy," a project designed to improve irrigation efficiency and sustainability in the Marthaguy district north of Warren, NSW. The scheme aimed to address four priorities: climate change action, water conservation, water security, and river health, with specific benefits intended for the Lower Macquarie Valley and the Macquarie Marshes through environmental water returns. The work plan outlines project governance, financial arrangements, environmental assessments, risk management, and contractor oversight, with endorsement from the scheme's committee. The document excerpts released do not reveal specific environmental data, EPBC Act referrals, or tension between scientific and regulatory advice regarding the project's actual environmental outcomes.
