Transferring water shares

Water Share Applications can now be lodged electronically either through MyWater or at our Submit Application Forms page.

If you are transferring both water share and land ownership, you must consult the relevant Water Corporation. They will clarify your needs and create a customised Form 55. That for will capture all the elements that you want changed and streamline the process to ensure no aspect is missed.

To transfer the ownership of the water share on its own, use the forms below. Both Form 1 and Form 10 must be accompanied by a Water Share Owner Identity Check.

    • Form 1 - Application to Transfer a Water Share

    • Annexure to Form 1 - use this if more space is required for signatures or portion transfers.

    • Form 10 - Application for a Limited Term Transfer
