It’s all systems go on the Werribee Irrigation District Modernisation Project, as work is underway to construct a new regulator inside Southern Rural Water’s irrigation channel at Tarneit Street.

We’re fixing and improving our network across our region, including starting work on the final stage of the multimillion-dollar infrastructure modernisation project in Werribee’s Irrigation District and delivering several projects in the Macalister Irrigation District.

Southern Rural Water has started works on the final stage of the multimillion-dollar infrastructure modernisation project in Werribee’s Irrigation District.

It promises to be a busy 2024 in the Werribee Irrigation District, with Stage 5 modernisation works and meetings of the Werribee System Reconfiguration Customer Reference Group to start soon.

John Said is the Managing Director of Fresh Select – one of Victoria’s biggest vegetable growers. He believes modernisation in the Werribee Irrigation District means they’re well placed to feed the nation sustainably well into the future.

Southern Rural Water is delivering on its once-in-a-generation investment in modern infrastructure with modernisation projects in Newry, Werribee and Bacchus Marsh.  

Southern Rural Water’s Werribee Irrigation Modernisation Project is more than just securing the farming futures of the district’s vegetable growers. The project is also providing employment opportunities to local businesses and residents.
