Victorian Water Register

Welcome to the public website for the Victorian Water Register.

The Water Register is a public register of all water-related entitlements in Victoria.

The Water Register records water entitlements with integrity, enables proper water accounting, keeps track of the water market and produces crucial information for managing Victoria’s water resources.

• An independent Victorian Water Registrar responsible for recording water shares and mortgages
• The Office of Water in the DSE managing Victoria’s water resources
• Rural water authorities approving the transfer of water shares and managing water allocations

• Get copies of individual water share records by paying an $11.30 fee
• Find out about the distribution of entitlements by water system and trading zone
• Get information about trading rules and trades that have occurred.

This website will be continually developed and improved to provide more information about water trade and accounting. It will generate reports on levels of use, directions of trade, and prices paid.
