Price Merrett Consulting is currently involved in the Goulburn-Murray Water Rural Water Connections Project, providing on-farm advice and design as part of the $2 billion project. The company has played a leading role in the development of the project; primarily in providing case studies and costings for both Stage One and Stage Two of the project.

Price Merrett Consulting specialises in surface irrigation, additionally Price Merrett Consulting designs pressurised irrigation systems, on farm storage, pump stations, reuse systems and effluent treatment systems for both intensive and broad acre irrigation.

All Price Merrett Consulting projects have a strong customer and stakeholder focus; consultation is a core component to understanding the client needs and aspirations, providing direction to the planning and design teams.
