NAIS: a plan to strengthen Australian agriculture

We built the first stage of the North Adelaide Irrigation Scheme.

North Adelaide Irrigation Scheme

This infrastructure consists of a large-scale water transfer network formed by  29 km of underwater piping. It also has a new treatment plant that produces reclaimed water, a main network, pumping stations, underwater and tank storage, and, finally, a distribution network used for horticultural production.

More than 150 people were involved in the development of this infrastructure. NAIS also contributes to the development of up to 300 hectares of land dedicated to export agriculture.

We are promoting the region’s economy 

With this infrastructure, we are strengthening the farming industry in the region. Thanks to NAIS, water can be used for horticulture, flower farming, fruit and walnut trees, table and wine grape growing, various valuable crops, poultry farming, and other intensive livestock and fish farming activities. 

With this project, we bring AUD 578 million into the economy each year and create 3,700 direct and direct jobs. 

“It’s a great example of the kind of infrastructure that creates jobs and stimulates economic growth that will benefit rural communities”. 

Anne Ruston, Australian Minister for Families and Social Services
