5.2 Business Arising from the Minutes (Cont’d) (c) National On-Farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme (Item 8.2) The last meeting noted that the National On-Farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme had been oversubscribed and as a result funding for 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 had been fully allocated. The meeting resolved – (1) That the Commonwealth Government be urged to provide additional funding to for the National On-Farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme; and (2) That the State Government be urged to reinstate the Farm Water Rebate Scheme.

On 2 October 2020, the Australian Government announced an additional $50 million of funding for the expansion of the National On-farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme in 2020/2021.

Discussion with the Office of the Minister for Water indicates that the State Government is not considering reinstating the State’s Farm and Pastoral Water Rebate Schemes.

RECOMMENDATION (a) That the State Government be urged to respond quickly to the additional funding provided under the National On-Farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme to allow as many Western Australian applicants as possible to benefit from the Scheme; and (b) That the State Opposition be urged to strongly lobby for the reinstatement of the State’s Farm and Pastoral Water Rebate Schemes.

Cr T Sachse commented that the National Scheme was good and was more wide ranging than the previous State Farm and Pastoral Water Rebate Scheme.

RESOLUTION Rosemary Madacsi moved and Tony Sachse seconded – (a) That the State Government be urged to respond quickly to the additional funding provided under the National On-Farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme to allow as many Western Australian applicants as possible to benefit from the Scheme; and (b) That the State Opposition be urged to strongly lobby for the reinstatement of the State’s Farm and Pastoral Water Rebate Schemes. CARRIED

(d) Standpipe Swipe Card Systems (Item 8.3) Last meeting resolved that – That local government members who have installed swipe cards on their standpipes be requested to provide information on the costs of installing the equipment, operating costs, any savings in water costs and any benefits or disadvantages in the operation of the swipe card system for consideration at the next meeting.

The Shire of Lake Grace has provided a detailed report (attached to Agenda).

RECOMMENDATION For discussion NOTED

6 REPORTS

6.1 Water Corporation Report Presentation of the Water Corporation’s report.

RECOMMENDATION That the Water Corporation’s report be received.

Mr M Roberts presented the Water Corporation’s report (attached) and commented -  This was his first meeting of the Group.  Would approach Mr Anthony Bodycoat to come to the next Rural Water Council meeting and present his findings regarding the Muresk Reverse Osmosis Farm Water Supply Micro-Trial Project and other water source initiatives.

Cr R Madacsi asked where was the Water Corporation looking at regional ground water supplies. Mr Roberts replied bores at Leonora, ground water supplies were dependant on water quality, all sources were being looked at including waste water for irrigation.

Cr T Sachse referred to commercial projects and asked the cost of water. Mr Roberts replied that he would ask the Water Corporation’s commercial section to contact Cr Sachse.

Mr L Short enquired as to Mr Roberts background. Mr Roberts replied that he was from Zimbabwe, he attended University in South Africa obtaining a Mechanical Engineering Degree, he worked for the Rand Water Board and come to Australia in 1999.

RECOMMENDATION That the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation’s report be received.

The Executive Officer advised that no report had been received. Rural Water Council of WA (Inc) Minutes of the Meeting held 16 October 2020 Page 5 [of 13]

6.3 Region Reports Presentation by delegates of region reports.

Dandaragan (Lawrie Short) Given the impact of COVID-19 we must not remain complacent about the impact this is having:  Dandaragan Townsite has felt the impact due to the failure of the town pump necessitating parts being ordered from Europe being delayed. Thankfully Water Corporation have risen to the occasion with carting in water to ensure the Town supply.  Other impacts have been the crowds at Coastal Towns such as Greenhead fully booked out, necessitating rerouting to inland Towns such as Coorow, with Metrocentric people expressing the delight they experienced in the Golden Wheatbelt.

Overall, the rainfall for the region has been scattered from drought (by definition long period below average) in Eastern Badgingarra, respectfully just below average for Dandaragan central to almost average at Regans Ford. Many of the rain bearing systems for the year did not have a frontal assault but rather sliced away generally from Jurien to Bremer Bay. Going east of Moora to north of Miling there has been variable results, with some looking for finishing rains. Our region probably has about 30 recognisable soil types with various moisture holding abilities thus with increasing technology seeding, fertilising, grazing and refencing higher financial outcomes are the outcomes. Unfortunately, in all probability offset by increasing costs, though given asset write off increase it is good for all, we hope we see the recession through safely.

Having seen the increases in Federal funding for on farm infrastructure we also need to continue to make use of the situation, particularly the low interest rate which may not last more than a couple of years., Budgeting well is essential particularly in water management. Even in our area the dams are not all full though spring sourced waters are flowing well, this leads us to watch out for Riparian Rights, particularly when streams are banked up with limited on flow to downstream neighbors, an example of which we recently had in our region.

Mount Marshall (Tony Sachse) 2020 has seen very patchy rainfall within the Shire, with the very South having excellent year to date rainfall which contrasts with other areas in the North experiencing decile 1-2 recordings for 2020 so far. As a consequence, surface water flows have been quite variable with little runoff into dams in some parts. This could lead to some challenges in regards stock water with summer approaching.

On the plus side is the announcement today of the Federal Government extending the On-Farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Scheme. This will assist in helping landowners become even more efficient with smart investment and maintenance with their individual water resources. This investment almost always has medium and long-term benefits. The Emergency farmland water response planning and water deficiency arrangements, combined with any Water deficiency declarations will need to be watched closely.

Council has a reasonable spread of tanks for firefighting purposes. Access to standpipes for community water is now strictly controlled with the changes over the last two years. However, there is some infrastructure in place to assist community members who are not connected to scheme water.

Insofar as recreation is concerned, Lake McDermott is still quite full, is quite fresh, and will continue to be enjoyed for boating and water sport activities. The lake has good birdlife with fringing melaleucas and other vegetation. Works to allow the newly acquired lease at Waddouring dam to be opened up to the public have been budgeted. Waddouring will provide for excellent camping and recreational pursuits at a permanent water resource within the Shire.

Westonia (Ross Della Bosca) Our Shire has had an average year. 76 mm in February got things going with a bit of runoff into dams. 19.3 mm for the next two months. Seeding started dry until 25 May we got 28 mm over six days this got everything out of the ground including some canola that was sown in early April. 147.6 mm is our growing season rainfall. Nothing since 11 September. Summer rain is the saviour as we have an average season. Sheep feed got going early February but was exhausted by 25 May. Feed improved from there.

Rural Water Council of WA (Inc) Minutes of the Meeting held 16 October 2020 Page 6 [of 13]

We have installed swipe card readers on our standpipes, the cost is $120,000. We were fortunate to have cash savings on other work we did in the Shire to purchase the readers ($15,000 each) otherwise probably wouldn’t have been installed. The saving will be being more accountable for the water usage. The question that needs to be asked is about the discrepancy in the price of water in relation to where you are - $2.50 - $8.50 per kilolitre. We have installed tanks on some standpipes to make water more available to people in the North and South of the Shire where we run into waters supply problems.

Toodyay (Rosemary Madacsi) Overall rainfall was early and consistent with 10 year averages but patchy with fewer rain events. Distribution across the Shire varied with the east of the Avon River receiving mostly single digit events compared to 25 mm events to the west. Dams that were dry by December are low for this time of year with most surface runoff intercepted by crops and spring fed dams in the east dry. Rainfall has averaged 250-270 mm well below average for a 400 mm area. Dam water levels are 50% below normal and the Keetch Byram Drought Index (KBDI) for Northam (our closest site) was 115 mm, against the KBDI for the last five years of 10–80 mm resulting in more fuel available this year.

Cropping has been excellent in parts, following a late dry start to seeding and early germination due to good rain in late May early June. A dry July kept soil moisture levels favourable and stock feed that was plentiful within three weeks of rain is still available despite early drying. East of the Avon River grain yield and quality are below average. A good hay season was reduced by late rain and moisture.

Local brigades are concerned with an earlier fire season and higher fuel availability. Minor incidents have already occurred. Expansion and upgrading of brigade facilities and 26 emergency water tanks have provided good infrastructure. Aside from 2 bore fed, 6 roof/rain fed tanks and the Shire mains fed tank, 17 tanks are reliant on water cartage from the swipe card regulated Shire standpipe. All other sources are keyed. The cost benefits prior and post installation of the swipe card controller, and the cost of the controller itself have not been available in time for this report.

Merredin (Julie Flockart) Rainfall The Shire of Merredin rainfall started with good rain in February followed by a dry March and April with consistent rains through the growing season of May to early September. Farmer dams that were dry by January are already almost empty with very little run off due to the majority of farmland in crop. The good early rains has created an increased germination of weeds on road reserves and UCL property resulting in more fuel available this year.

Farming Feed for livestock on a whole hasn’t lasted very long but the crops have been excellent with most farmers confirming their best season for quite some time, the cut off of rain late may affect quality but the yield potential is there. It has been a good year for those that grow hay with very good yields recorded but whenever this is the case the quality does drop off. Farmers are concerned about their access to scheme water for livestock and spraying operations.

Bushfire At the recent Bush Fire Advisory Committee meeting fire chiefs expressed concerns about an earlier fire season with the higher and drier fuel availability. Council has moved to lock there 13 standpipes which has caused concern from firefighters with access when it is really needed during a fire. Council has budgeted to install two swipe card machines to standpipes this year for easier access. An application for a grant is currently with DFES to install a tank for firefighting purposes in the Korbel area in the south west section of the Shire.

Town There are five dams in Merredin used for the watering of recreation reserves and public open space, one is water reuse from Water Corporation. Two of the dams are full, one half and one already nearly empty, the one half full which is used to keep the CBD looking green is likely to go dry early in the new year. We are fortunate that we have access to Water Corporations reuse scheme which keeps our highway and entrance into town looking green and a little oasis as you arrive in town. We have an application with the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation through their Community Water Supply Program to lesson our reliance on the Scheme.

8 BUSINESS

8.1 Expanding Stakeholder Base The Executive Committee has noted the need for the Rural Water Council to have a strong stakeholder base to increase its effectiveness in lobbying governments, agencies, etc. It has been suggested that consideration be given to inviting farm improvement groups to participate in the Rural Water Council. There are numerous groups within the dryland agricultural region such as – Facey Group (Corrigin, Cuballing, Dumbleyung, Kulin, Narrogin, Pingelly, Popanyinning, Wagin, Wandering, Wickepin and Williams) Far East Agricultural Research Group (FEAR) (Yilgarn, Westonia including Bodallin, Moorine Rock and Southern Cross townsites Liebe Group (Dalwallinu, Coorow, Perenjori and Wongan-Ballidu) Merredin and Districts Farm Improvement Group (MADFIG) (Merredin, Nungarin, Bruce Rock, Kellerberrin) Mortlock Ag Focus Group (Dowerin, Goomalling, Wyalkatchem and Koorda) Toodyay Agricultural Alliance (Toodyay, Northam, Victoria Plains) West Midlands Group (Dandaragan, Coorow, Moora, Gingin)

Invitations have also been extended to the Wheatbelt Development Commission and RDA Wheatbelt to participate in the Group. Both organisations have indicated that they would be pleased to contribute. Rural Water Council of WA (Inc) Minutes of the Meeting held 16 October 2020 Page 8 [of 13]

Mr Rob Cossart (WDC) and Ms Mandy Walker (RDAW) will be attending this meeting. Ms Walker has advised that due to another commitment she will have to leave around 9:30 am.

RECOMMENDATION For Consideration.

RESOLUTION Eileen O’Connell moved and Julie Flockart seconded – That invitations be sent to farm improvement groups within the dryland agricultural region to attend, as observers, the Rural Water Council’s meeting to be held in Merredin in March 2021. CARRIED

The meeting requested that members advise the Executive Officer of any farm improvement groups within their areas.

8.2 Impact on Water Availability and Costs Associated with Mining & Infrastructure Projects The President has submitted the following questions for consideration –  Will there be any impact on water volumes available to “Farmland” project areas given increasing use of water to mining projects, such as the Lithium mine near Moorine Rock?  Given the possible increase in construction activity relevant to “Tier 3” rail and the subject upgrades on say the Kondinin to Merredin line (estimate $200 m, subject to approval) will there be provision to supply any water required at actual cost price of say $10/ kilolitre? Will this charge be applied to any other projects that receive either State or Federal funding? Such as roadworks or wheat silos etc that may require on site concrete batching or offsite plants?

Mr M Roberts commented –  Water used in mining operations is charged at a stagged rate depending on use and cost of the capital infrastructure to provide the water.  Water planning looks at projects and works through the requirements including other options such as using waste water use.  Comes at a cost and time.

Cr Tony Sachse left the meeting at 9:50 am. In leaving he suggested that the Group’s meeting in Merredin be an in-person meeting and indicated his support for the recommendation on bank signatories (Item 8.3).

Hon L Graham MLC commented on the need for good quality water to be used for roadworks and arrangements between contractors and the Water Corporation. He suggested a follow up with the Minister to see if there was any roadwork requirement in specifications for use of good quality water.

Mr Darren Simmons commented that it was important for road projects to be rolled out, that projects such as the Wheatbelt Secondary Freight Network and Tier 3 rail be optimised. He was confident that water supplies for these projects could be managed.

8.3 Bank Signatories Recent advice from Westpac bank indicated that the signatories to the Group’s bank accounts were not current. The information on their system listed Cr Eileen O’Connell, Cr Wayne Wallace and Cr Ross Chappell as the signatories.

Stage 4  2 sites under construction in Wyalkatchem, Trayning  2 extra sites added due to the condition and proximity to other sites under construction

Stage 5  1 site remaining about to be awarded in Merredin  2 extra sites added due to the condition and proximity to other sites under construction. 1 of which is just about complete.

Stage 6  Midwest region 2- 4 sites in Morawa  have scope to add more smaller projects where necessary  Sites are being packaged together to produce value for money and continuity for contractors  We have a good selection of local and aboriginal contractors with whom the works are being tendered.

Muresk Reverse Osmosis Farm Water Supply Micro-Trial Project

There is an ongoing evaluation of this project with the current focus being the review of operational costs and design life of the equipment. An update will be presented at the next Rural Water Council meeting.

Small Dams Project

 Water Corporation currently owns or manages a significant number of land parcels throughout the Wheatbelt that contain small dams no longer required for drinking water supply purposes.  These dams have effectively become community water sources primarily utilised for firefighting, road building, agricultural and/or drought relief purposes.  Water Corporation is progressively contacting Local Governments throughout the Wheatbelt to discuss their interest in accepting the transfer of any surplus small dams in their district.  If Shires are interested in taking over dams in their district, the Water Corporation will perform the necessary paperwork and liaise with DPLH to effect the transfer of the land and assets.  Contact Water Corporation’s Property Portfolio Team (David Morgan – 9420 2640) for further detail.
