When the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme was begun, it required more manpower than Australia could offer, especially people with particular skills and training. The Scheme attracted tens of thousands of skilled immigrants, resulting in not only an increase in Australia's population, but in its cultural diversity. These migrants were happy to come to Australia as their own countries were suffering post-war economic depression, and Australia offered new opportunities for them.

How did the Snowy Mountains scheme affect farmers?

Australia's Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme was a massive undertaking to redirect the waters of the Snowy Rver and the winter thaw of the Snowy Mountains for more efficient use both in hydroelectricity and for irrigation. Farmers were and are affected differently, according to their location. Initially, the scheme was seen as bad for the property owners in the area. Many farmers lost their livelihood, as stock animals (cattle, horses, etc) were no longer permitted to be grazed in the High Country. However, the Scheme brought many advantages for farmers. It generates electricity and redistributes water to the Murray River, where it is used for farming and irrigation, so farmers downstream are greatly benefitted.
