The Water Register is a public register of all water-related entitlements in Victoria. It has been designed and built to record water entitlements with integrity and provide crucial information for managing Victoria’s water resources.
The Water Register:
- holds water shares recorded by the Victorian Water Registrar, together with mortgages and limited term transfers (leases) relevant to these water shares
- holds records of licences to take and use surface water and groundwater
- holds records of works-related licences
- records water allocations that are available in the current season
- tracks and reconciles volumes of water entitlements by water system and trading zone
- holds water-use licences and delivery shares that are managed by water corporations
- includes workflows to process water dealings, and keeps audit trails
- generates statistics and reports on levels of use, directions of trade, and prices paid
