May 2012 amendments

The Regulations amendment was made on 10 May 2012. The bulk of the changes will take effect on 5 July 2012.
Refer to Issue 8 of the Water Information Bulletin (480KB) for a detailed explanation of the changes to the Regulations. You can also view a summary of the May 2012 amendments.

At the beginning of 2011, we held workshops for data providers in each capital city to discuss the amendments. Here are some FAQs from the workshops.

Regulations Online Tool

The Bureau is in the process of updating the Regulations Online Tool. The Bureau developed the current tool in 2008 and the delivery dates for giving water data were 'hardwired' into the application so they cannot be applied to new organisations added to the Regulations. This will be fixed in the revised tool and the Bureau will advise named organisations when it is available. In the meantime, here is a document comparing Regulations subcategories before and after the amendment, to help you prepare for the changes.
