Earlier this week, the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) announced a rescheduled Goulburn to Murray trade opportunity opening for Thursday 14 November 2024.

This followed a disruption during the original 15 October 2024 submission window.

DEECA is implementing a new randomisation processing approach for the rescheduled opening. The approach was designed to provide market participants with reliable access to the October Goulburn to Murray trade opportunity as soon as possible. It will not alter the way water market participants submit trade applications.

To better understand these changes and what they mean for you, DEECA has prepared a new application processing procedure and a new process and FAQ document.
