The NSW Government is calling for expressions of interest for the next round of the National Water Grid funding, a federal initiative aimed at improving water security and reliability in regional and remote communities.
With applications expected to open in June 2025, this funding offers a significant opportunity to support critical water infrastructure across regional NSW, strengthening access for towns, agriculture and primary industries. Local councils, water utilities, irrigation organisations and First Nations groups are encouraged to apply for co-funding of up to 50% for projects that will deliver long-term benefits to communities.
Expressions of interest must be submitted by 11:00 pm (AEDT) on Thursday 27 February 2025 to allow time for assessment and further discussions with the NSW Government’s Water Group.
