Low flying aerial photogrammetry survey

Murray Irrigation would like to advise customers and the community that aerial photogrammetry survey flights will be taking place over the footprint during February and March 2025. 
 
These flights will be occurring at around 1000 feet in some areas to survey Murray Irrigation assets, including infrastructure and channels, for the company to use as part of our Foundational Asset Condition Assessment project. 
 
The purpose of this asset inspection project is to collect data so the company can make informed decisions to ensure Murray Irrigation is sustainable for future generations.
 
The aerial survey is focusing on company assets across the whole footprint and is being conducted in line with the company’s privacy policy found here. 
 
These flights are expected to take place during February and March 2025. Dates may vary depending on weather conditions. 
 
Murray Irrigation will keep customers and the community informed via Talking Water if these dates are expected to change. 
 
In the meantime, customers can expect to see Murray Irrigation staff and contractors on channel banks preparing for surveying work from tomorrow (Wednesday 22 January) onwards.
 
For more information on this asset inspection project, read our Customer Update below.

We have received a fantastic response and would like to thank everyone who has entered an Expression of Interest. We hope it will be the start of a long-lasting educational initiative for our customers.

AFL legends set to visit Moulamein

AFL football legends Brian ‘BT’ Taylor and Matthew ‘Richo’ Richardson will be heading this way as guest speakers at the Moulamein Bowling Club's Men's Health Night on Saturday 15 February.

Combining entertaining stories from two footy greats with some important health messages, this evening has all the makings of a great night out.
