35.1 Trade of surface water entitlement within region

Supporting Information

Water trading in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) is restricted to the trading of entitlements within the ACT only. This is because protocols that enable interstate trading do not currently exist.


During the 2010–11 year, four trades occurred within the Canberra region. The total volume of water traded was 77.5 ML.
