ProposalDescription: 

The farm Sunnymead 600JT, Portion 3 is 30km from Barberton and 10km from Glenthorp turn off and falls in the Umjindi Local Municipal borders. The farm is neglected with Eucalyptus trees that grow in the existing stream, there are vacant agricultural fields and for the last 8 years alien vegetation has taken over the derelict areas. There is an existing registered dam with a capacity of 50m3 on the farm that was used for sugarcane production under irrigation in the past. The dam is surrounded with eucalyptus and alien vegetation. It is silted up and can only store a capacity of 30m3. It is better to irrigate the Macadamia orchards from a dam than to pump water directly from the nearby stream and it is also economically viable, Long Creek Farming Pty (Ltd) saw it necessary to construct a dam of 300m3 to provide sufficient irrigation water. Long Creek Farming Pty (Ltd) bought the farm in November 2012 and began with the rehabilitation of the areas that had overgrown with Eucalyptus trees. The farm has 30ha irrigation rights from the Suid Kaap River. To produce healthy and good quality macadamias, the irrigation process has to be managed with care. The most effective way to manage the irrigation process is to irrigate the trees with stored water.
