"Minister for Regional Development, Phil Costa today called for expressions of interest for funding to invest in water saving technologies that support new jobs and business investment.
Mr Costa said the $9 million Water Adjustment Innovation Fund will help NSW country towns
affected by water reforms and drought.
“The Rees Government is committed to supporting businesses who are in the major catchments
and are impacted by drought and water reform,” said Mr Costa.
“This includes the catchment management areas of the Border Rivers/Gwydir, Namoi, Central
West, Western, Lachlan, Lower Murray Darling, Murrumbidgee and Murray.
“This fund will generate new jobs by assisting businesses who are developing and manufacturing
water efficient technology.
