Program Details

The Telemetry Uplift Program aims to assist eligible water users in the Murray-Darling Basin with compliance to the metering rules, to ensure water taken from inland regional water sources is extracted fairly, equitably and according to the rules.

The Program provides financial assistance to eligible landowners through the installation of telemetry equipment by Government contractors at no cost or through a reimbursement to landowners who have engaged a Duly Qualified Person (DQP) at their own expense.

Eligible water users who wish to engage the government contractor to install the telemetry devices should register their interest on the Telemetry Uplift Program page Telemetry Uplift Program | Water.

Eligible water users who wish to claim a cashback can continue with this application.
