Comparative year
In the 2011 Account, it was not possible to separate urban and non-urban entitlements to groundwater. Therefore, the allocation remaining for all groundwater entitlements was reported at line item 6.1 'Groundwater allocation remaining'.
In the 2012 Account, data provided has enabled urban water entitlements to groundwater to be reported separately in the Melbourne Account. Consequently, the volume has been restated as 0 ML.
