Southern Rural Water Exchange

Groundwater Traderoom

The Groundwater Traderoom lists offers pertaining to groundwater. The sale of groundwater water entitlements, licences and Water Shares can be traded freely by any interested party. Licences such as Take & Use, may require the buyer to meet certain criteria via an eligibility assessment. By accepting a sell offer, the buyer will be notified of the trade match and will be advised of next steps in the process to complete the transaction.
Please note, transfer of groundwater between zones is regulated, and for the most part can only be transferred within the same zone.
