1. Policy Reforms – Roadblock or Pathways to Irrigation Success

2. Reliability of supply modernisation integrated dynamic network new development Efficient Water Use SMART Irrigators transfer Land management continuously evolving ‘best can do’ accountable WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE?

3. Infrastructure governance & management financing (market failure) Water use measurement transfer efficiency incentives Land management nutrient efficiency improve “hot-spots” ROADBLOCKS

4. Water Measurement Regulations Irrigation Acceleration Fund Crown Irrigation Investments Limited Freshwater National Policy Statement RMA & Freshwater NPS reforms POLICY DEVELOPMENTS TO DATE

5. Benefits essential good process Challenges implementation regional compliance interpretation verification of meters data management ‘telling the story’ WATER MEASUREMENT REGULATION

6. Benefits new level of scrutiny proactive approach lifted the game Challenges scheme discovery process need to grow the fund limited to infrastructure ‘telling the story’ IRRIGATION ACCELERATION FUND

7. Benefits scrutiny reduce risk provide for uptake gap provide for over build Challenges CIIL discovery process investment ready schemes initial investment criteria ‘telling the story’ CROWN IRRIGATION INVESTMENTS LTD

8. Benefits sets framework Challenges interpretation values – which & weighting? objectives – how & what? limits – how & what? manage within limits – how? Implementation policy versus compliance quantity – manageable quality – voyage of discovery! FRESHWATER NPS

9. Benefits accounting planning template collaborative process clarity (NOF) focus ‘resource management’ Challenges managing within limits practical implementation REFORMS – RMA & FRESHWATER NPS

10. FUTURE - MANAGING UNCERTAINTY Enabling investment key - requires ‘relative’ certainty The conundrum - Measurement Monitoring Modelling Challenge = fitting puzzle together ‘Incremental’ versus ‘shock’ change Apportion risk to create ‘relative’ certainty within uncertainty
