Shareholder Update - Shareholder discussion groups - Register your interest

28 August 2024

The Murray Irrigation Board will host a round of Shareholder discussion groups from the 16th to the 27th of September to understand shareholder sentiment around the Federal Government’s intent to undertake further water buybacks in the Murray Irrigation footprint. 

 

The purpose of these discussions is to gather constructive shareholder input on how we can work together to minimise the impact of buybacks on Murray Irrigation, customers and the local community. 

 

Murray Irrigation has modelled a number of internal, commercial and government related initiatives that could limit the impact of buybacks on the footprint. Feedback from shareholders during these discussions will help guide the Board decision making process when implementing possible solutions.   

 

Murray Irrigation is firmly focused on making sure that, at the end of the Basin Plan buybacks, the company is structured in a way that minimises any increase in costs to customers. We all know that irrigators and their production underpins our community. The Board wants to give you confidence in the business’s ability to continue to deliver water on time and in full, post buybacks. We hope this will give you the confidence to keep your water and continue producing in the area.

 

We are asking shareholders to complete the below registration of interest to assist us in developing a discussion group schedule that reaches as much of the footprint, and as many shareholders as possible.

Regards
