The Goulburn to Murray Trade Limit—which governs allocation trade from the Goulburn, Broken, Campaspe and Loddon systems to the Victorian Murray system, New South Wales and South Australia—will open again on Tuesday 15 October 2024. This follows the previous Goulburn to Murray trade opening on 2 July and is the second of three Goulburn to Murray trade openings for the 2024–25 water year. Estimated volumes will be made public closer to this date.

• The next release of seasonal trade opportunity from the Goulburn to the Murray system will open at 10:00 am AEST Tuesday 15 October 2024.
• The submission window will be open from 10:00 am to 10:30 am AEST and the manual processing of trade applications will occur from 11 am.

Within the submission window, water market participants should submit allocation trade applications through the MyWater and Broker Portals as usual. Each trade application will be queued in the order received by our online interface in the Victorian Water Register.

After the submission window closes, MyWater and Broker Portals will go offline until 5 pm for manual processing of applications. Applicants will receive notifications on the outcomes of trade applications as they are manually processed, by 5 pm on the day submitted. The system will return to its normal operation after 5 pm.
