Water markets reporting
You may have to provide information relating to water markets to the Bureau of Meteorology if your organisation is a:
- government agency
- irrigation infrastructure operator
- trading platform operator.
There are legal requirements to report:
- water markets decisions from 1 July 2026
- specified water markets information from 1 July 2027.
The aim is to improve the availability, consistency and transparency of information about water markets activity in the Murray–Darling Basin.
Submit water markets data – Water Data Hub
Organisations can use the Water Data Hub to submit Murray–Darling Basin water markets decisions (Part 5A).
Water markets information (Part 7A) is required from 1 July 2027. There will be opportunities to test this before reporting starts.
Data providers submit information in the hub by:
- application programming interface (API)
- secure file transfer protocol (SFTP)
- file upload
- form entry.
