Through reports and fact sheets like these, and by continuing to improve the information available on the Victorian Water Register website, the Victorian government is committed to providing water users with clear, accurate information to help them make informed decisions in the water market.

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning will be discussing this information at a number of forums with water users during March and April including water corporation customer committees and other industry forums.

Further reports on water trading, including the Victorian Water Trading Annual Report are also available here, and up to date market data on the volume and price of water allocation trade is available here.
