"QUINELLA"

"Quinella" is a unique farm because of its natural ability to harvest water from the surrounding farms and the adjoining state forest. It has 1 in 700 natural fall from south west to north west.

Current water storage licences are in place for

• Large storage dam (approximately 1,800 megalitre capacity) measures 700 metres x 500 metres
• Smaller storage dam (approximately 200 megalitre capacity)
• i.e. total approximately 2,000 megalitre capacity

This gives "Quinella" the ability to harvest and store 2,000 megalitres of irrigation water (in excess of two billion litres). A similar water harvest licence in the same region recently sold for $900 per megalitre

Due to new government regulations, licences such as those attached to "Quinella", will not be available in the future.
