Groundwater trading is an essential part of regional agriculture and business. It's our responsibility to facilitate a fair and simple system that everyone can use while also protecting our water supply from excessive consumption.Groundwater can be traded either temporarily or permanently.

A temporary trade is like leasing your groundwater allowance for a fixed amount of time. A permanent trade is essentially selling your groundwater licence.

 

To trade water, either temporarily or permanently...

1. The seller must have a 'take and use' groundwater licence.

 

2. Both buyer and seller must adhere to the trading rules for the water supply location:

Murrayville Groundwater Management Area (GMA)

West Wimmera Groundwater Management Area (GMA)

Information about Permanent Water Saving Rules (PWSRs) and staged water restrictions.  Find the current restrictions for your town.

Current water restrictions

Water restrictions are a necessary part of a sustainable future for our region and wider community. It's everyone's job to use water in a responsible and fair manner.

 

Permanent Water Saving Rules

You need to be vigilant in your water use at all times, even when you're not under water restrictions! That's why all Victorian towns are subject to Permanent Water Saving Rules.

 

Staged water restrictions

Water restrictions have one primary purpose - to conserve water! The health of the water supply dictates the level of restrictions, Stage 1 being the most mild and Stage 4 being the most severe.
