Marlborough Irrigation—your partner in efficient and sustainable water management.

About Us

From one of the world’s toughest climates to the most volatile.

Our founder, Shannon Huntley honed his trade in Western Australia. A state built on mining where one thing is worth more than gold. Water. Because of what little it has, needs to stretch across 2.65 million km² of land. Which is mostly desert. This is why it’s widely regarded as leading the world in irrigation.

Now back home in New Zealand, he’s putting those groundbreaking practices and technologies to use here. Helping people to grow everything from hobby gardens to vineyards producing top-quality wines. And everything in between.

    With over 10 Years of experience across New Zealand and Australia, Shannon’s certainly shovelled his fair share of dirt. When he’s not putting water to work in your backyard, he’s out enjoying New Zealand’s.

    What can we say? This is a family business and teamwork here, really does make the dream work. Sarah helped set up a successful business in Australia and is at it again. This time in Marlborough. Although, she leaves most of the digging up to Shannon.
