Customer engagement has started on the Werribee System Reconfiguration Project, with the first meeting of a customer reference group held in Werribee this week.

John Said is the Managing Director of Fresh Select – one of Victoria’s biggest vegetable growers. He believes modernisation in the Werribee Irrigation District means they’re well placed to feed the nation sustainably well into the future.

Southern Rural Water is calling for Expressions of Interest from Werribee growers to join a customer reference group for the Werribee System Reconfiguration Project.

Southern Rural Water’s Werribee Irrigation Modernisation Project is more than just securing the farming futures of the district’s vegetable growers. The project is also providing employment opportunities to local businesses and residents.
