The Victorian Water Register is shared between
- 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
On this site you can
- Get copies of individual water share records by paying the relevant 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.
