The Victorian Water Trust (VWT) has invested in a range of water projects including:

• Water Smart Homes and Gardens Rebates: $10 million to encourage improved water-use efficiency throughout the home and garden.
• Water Smart Farms Initiative: $10 million to support irrigators to adopt more efficient on-farm water management.
• Healthy Rivers Initiative: over $20 million to deliver integrated river health benefits, such as restoring riverine habitat.
• Strategic Research Initiative in partnership with the Smart Water Fund: $2 million for research on management of water in towns and cities.
• Water Conservation Assistance Pilot Program: $2 million for rebates to encourage water conservation in homes owned by low-income Victorians.
• Country Towns Water Supply and Sewerage Program: $44 million towards the provision of water supply and sewerage solutions for country towns.
• Werribee Plains Vision: $11 million for sustainable water projects.
• Macalister Program: $8 million for new technology to enhance environmental flows and improve service to irrigators in the Macalister Irrigation District.
• Sunraysia Program - Robinvale Upgrade: $20 million for upgrading the Robinvale irrigation system to enable sustainable regional development.
• Goulburn Broken Program: $40 million to improve the efficiency and security of water supply in the Goulburn-Broken catchments.
• Gippsland Water Factory: $25 million for water recycling for industrial use in Gippsland.
• Alpine Resorts Recycling: $5 million for water recycling at Mount Hotham and Mount Buller to increase the security of the water supply and to protect the sensitive mountain environment.

The VWT has also made significant contributions to the following large infrastructure projects:

• Over $49 million towards the Wimmera Mallee pipeline; and
• $50 million towards the State Water Plan’s Northern Victoria Irrigation Renewal Project in the Goulburn-Murray region.

The funds of the Victorian Water Trust are now largely allocated.

The VWT Advisory Council has sought to maximise the leverage potential of the Trust. As a result, many VWT projects have included investment from other sources, such as the Commonwealth Government, water authorities and the private sector. In many instances, local communities are responsible for delivering the on-ground works supported by the VWT. All of these partners contribute to the impact of VWT investment.
