For allocation trades within Victoria:

- Online applications to trade allocation—including applications made via the Broker Portal or the Broker API—must be submitted by 12 pm on 30 June 2025 for processing in the 2024–25 water year.
For interstate allocation trade applications that require the approval of both states:

For water share transfer applications:
- Applications for water share transfers must be lodged with the water corporation by 5 pm on 16 June 2025. There is no guarantee that applications submitted after this time will be processed in the 2024–25 water year.
- Please keep in mind the water corporation’s approval of the transfer is only stage one of the water share transfer transaction process. Once approved, both seller(s) and buyer(s) are required to sign the Transfer of Water Share form and submit it to the Water Registrar for recording.
- Applications to record water share transfers must be lodged with the Water Registrar by 5 pm on 25 June 2025. There is no guarantee that applications submitted after this time will be recorded in the 2024–25 water year. Learn more about lodging with the Water Registrar here.
- You are reminded that when a water share transfer is recorded, the seller's allocation account will no longer be linked to that water share. Unused water allocation can only be carried over to the next water year if the allocation account is linked to an appropriate water share.
