Stage 1 of this project was completed in 2006. Stage 2 works were completed in 2008 and Stage 3 works completed early 2010.
Completed Water Savings 21,070 ML (21 GL)
The Central Goulburn Channel Automation Project (CG1234) automated channels within the Central Goulburn Irrigation Area, south east of Tatura in Victoria's North. This project continued to trial channel automation on Central Goulburn Channels 1, 3 and 4 following the concluded two-year pilot on the CG2 channel in 2006. Stage 1 involved the automation of the channel regulators on channels CG 1, 3 and 4 and completing the automation of channel CG2 in order to reduce outfalls, reduce meter error in CG2 and identify channel sections with high leakage and seepage loss. The second stage involved civil works to rectify leakage and seepage identified in Stage 1. The third stage involved replacement of Dethridge Meters in CG 1, 3 and 4. The project was seed funded by the Victorian Water Trust.
The project:
- Achieved 21 gigalitres in water savings which can be returned to the river system for use in environmental flows
- Improved the service to approximately 450 irrigators in GMW's Central Goulburn Irrigation District through automated gate operation and higher delivery flow rates (CG2) and assurance of operation levels along the full length of irrigation channels
- Improved the asset life and performance of a significant portion of GMW's delivery infrastructure as well as reduced risk with removal of manual operation of regulators
The CG 1 to 4 Channel Automation project has created:
- A modern irrigation system with automated operation resulting in reduced outfalls, improved service and reliability
- A channel delivery system that allows continuous monitoring of section by section performance assisting in targeting maintenance activities
The results of a completed survey of irrigators involved in the project are attached.
