Connecting the drops
The NSW Government is subsidising the installation of telemetry on non-urban surface water meters for eligible water entitlement holders across NSW. This supports sustainable water management, better information for water markets, and stronger compliance and monitoring.
Goanna Ag has been engaged under the program to install compliant telemetry devices, using our purpose-built telemetry device GoMeter, across nominated Water Management Areas. The program is offered on a first-come, first-served basis while the subsidy is available, with over 450 installations underway.
Wherever your property sits within the nominated Water Management Areas, the subsidy covers the same thing: your GoMeter device, installation, and your first 12 months of data services and maintenance - meaning there is no upfront cost to you

Why take part in the subsidy?
Telemetry is a requirement for surface water entitlement holders in the NSW. The subsidy is available for a limited time to help you get telemetry installed at no cost.
If you don't take up the subsidy now, you'll be responsible for the full cost of purchasing, installing and setting up a device yourself. Telemetry services that meet regulatory requirements can only be provided by approved suppliers authorised to securely transmit data to the DCCEEW.
Delivering on the NSW Government initiative to provide free telemetry devices to eligible water users.
