Fourth Tranche of the Environmental Contribution

In 2016, the Victorian Government committed to a fourth tranche of the environmental contribution (EC4). The fourth tranche, which commenced on 1 July 2016, raised $537.1 million over four years to fund delivery of the Government’s long term water plan, Water for Victoria. As of 30 June 2020 all of this amount has now been allocated and, as at the end of June 2020, $532.7 million has been spent, leaving $4.5 million left to spend in 2020/21 due to the phasing of project completion dates.

Expenditure information and progress reports are available for all EC4 funded initiatives listed below:

Further information and case studies on funding outcomes are also available in the Delivering Water for Victoria Progress Report.

An evaluation of EC4 program implementation and delivery is currently underway. Results of the evaluation will be available on this website when finalised.
