Supporting information

The volumetric value for the line item at the end of the 2012–13 year was 515,760 ML that includes 442,826 ML urban supplemented entitlements and 72,934 ML non-urban supplemented entitlements.

This line item consists of urban and non–urban supplemented entitlements accessed through a water supply scheme (WSS). This includes the following priority groups:

High class A
High distribution loss
High A
High B
Medium
Medium distribution loss
Risk A
Risk A and Risk B.

The breakdown into urban and non-urban entitlements can be seen in the following tables. Queensland does not differentiate between urban and non-urban entitlements within their entitlement register. This breakdown has been undertaken to allow a comparison with the urban and non-urban diversions shown in line item 21.1 Surface water allocation announcements and line item 21.2 Surface water allocation announcements – urban system.
