Important Notice – No Public Access There is no public access to the Milford Dam and other Lower South Esk Irrigation Scheme infrastructure. It is surrounded by private land and the public have no rights to entry or to travel on the private access roads. The Lower South Esk Irrigation Scheme (LSIS) is located on the Milford property 7km east of Conara. Scheme construction has just been completed and the scheme is now commissioned. The scheme consists of a pump station located on the banks of the South Esk River, a 6,000 ML dam and a transfer pipeline. Winter flows from the river are extracted from the river and pumped via the transfer pipeline to be stored in the Milford Dam. Releases from the Dam are via the transfer pipeline back to the river during each irrigation season. The scheme’s irrigators draw their water directly from the river further downstream.
