10-Year Strategy
VWR Partners & beneficiaries
Who are the Victorian Water Register partners?
The Victorian Water Register Partners are those organisations involved in operating and maintaining the Water Register.
This partnership is built on a combination of regulatory requirements, as found in the Water Act 2007, and historical relationships. They are all signatories to a formal agreement that outlines their responsibilities in the ongoing provision of the Victorian Water Register
The Victorian Water Register Partners are:
Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning
Goulburn Murray Water Corporation
Southern Rural Water Corporation
Lower Murray Water Corporation
Grampians, Mallee, Wimmera Water Corporation
Who are the Victorian Water Register beneficiaries?
Beneficiaries are individuals or organisations who interact with the Victorian Water Register but are not specifically partners to it.
Beneficiaries are a diverse group and can include holders of all types of water entitlements and allocations, water market participants and intermediaries, analysts and water resource practitioners.
The nature of these beneficiaries and their interactions with the Water Register have evolved over time and can be expected to continue evolving in the future.
Water Register 10-Year Strategy
Since its introduction, the Victorian Water Register has been an essential part of Victoria’s entitlements framework, providing a central point of authoritative information and giving users the confidence that our water markets are operating as they should.
As the market, technology, industry and community expectations continue to evolve, we need to review and clarify the Victorian Water Register's future direction.
This strategy reflects a partnership approach, providing a 10-year forward look for the Victorian Water Register developed collaboratively by DEECA and our partners.
In a future where the water entitlement framework will have to adapt to a changing climate and increasing water scarcity, it is only through working together that we can continue to provide trusted management of Victoria's water markets and, most importantly, secure and sustainable use of our water resources for industry, communities and the environment.
