BBSW - Access and Tours

Access

The BBSW is privately owned by Murrumbidgee Irrigation Ltd and is secured at all times by padlocked gates and boundary fencing at all times. Barren Box is private property for many reasons including the following:

• The presence of Alligator Weed: a national noxious aquatic plant. Vehicles driving off road can spread this competitive weed to other properties and areas
• Significant Aboriginal artefacts. These artefacts are scattered throughout the 3,200 hectares and damage or disturbance to these artefacts is a criminal offence under the National Parks & Wildlife Act.
• Public Safety: Barren Box is a large functioning water storage facility
  

Tours

A tour to Barren Box gives you the opportunity to see first hand engineering excellence and environmental outcomes.

Tours of the site can be arranged by contacting Murrumbidgee Irrigation. Please advise purpose of the requested tour, preferred date and group number. Groups will need to arrange their own transport through local coach companies and Murrumbidgee Irrigation will provide a guide.
