The region proposed for the Flowerdale scheme currently incorporates a moderate number of land holdings providing a range of agricultural products that support dairying. This varies from dairying to pasture and cereal crops for stock. There are also several boutique agricultural services provided in the area including nurseries and flower farms. The construction of a dedicated irrigation scheme will improve the agricultural potential for the district by supporting changes in agricultural activity.
Preliminary work was undertaken on the scheme but has not been progressed further while other schemes in Tranche Three are advanced. Tasmanian Irrigation will engage with the community in the future to determine the level of demand, investigate the existence of suitable water source potions and consider water delivery options,
