Common use of Project Elements Clause in Contracts

Project Elements. The South Australian River Xxxxxx Irrigation Efficiency element will deliver competitively awarded grants to support on-farm and off-farm irrigation efficiency improvements. The South Australian River Xxxxxx Irrigation Efficiency element will be conducted through fair, transparent and competitive grant processes for the distribution of any funding to industry with robust governance arrangements and appeals processes. At least 50 per cent of water savings realised through the investment of public funds in this element will be returned to the State, to be consolidated and transferred by South Australia to the Commonwealth. Water savings will be returned to the State (on behalf of Commonwealth) as the first milestone of any individual irrigation efficiency funding agreement (under $5.0 million investment). For large projects approved for funding (greater than $5.0 million investment) a staged water return to the State (on behalf of Commonwealth) may be scheduled for the project. ‘Gap bridging’ water savings of 36 gigalitres long term average annual yield are expected to be returned to the Commonwealth from the South Australian River Xxxxxx Irrigation Efficiency and South Australian Water Purchase Program Elements in the form of South Australian River Xxxxxx Class 3 water access entitlements. Eligible activities for funding under the South Australian River Xxxxxx Irrigation Efficiency element include: on-farm irrigation improvements. Funding for irrigators to improve irrigation systems to improve water delivery to crops and water management on farm. off-farm irrigation improvements. Funding for upgrades to off-farm irrigation delivery infrastructure. Eligible activities under the South Australian River Xxxxxx Irrigation Efficiency Element will be subject to technical and legal due diligence assessment by Primary Industries and Regions South Australia (PIRSA), or other State Government agency delegated by South Australia to confirm the estimates of water savings, works proposed are properly costed and fit-for purpose and to determine the merit of funding. Projects under the South Australian River Xxxxxx Irrigation Efficiency Element will return at least 50 per cent of water savings to the Commonwealth at a project value of no more than 2.5 times the prevailing average market price of water access entitlements recovered. The South Australian Water Purchase Program Element will purchase water access entitlements from the South Australian River Xxxxxx Prescribed Water Course at the prevailing average market price to the annual limit of funding provided for the element by the Commonwealth as outlined in Table 2 of this Schedule. The South Australian Water Purchase Program Element will use procedures compliant with procurement policies of the South Australian Government. .Any remaining funding provided for irrigation efficiency and water purchase elements not required for recovery of 36 gigalitres long term average annual yield will be used for further achievement of the objectives and outcomes set out in Part 2 of this Agreement.
