Bulk entitlements and environment entitlements are legal rights to water granted by the Minister for Water under the Water Act 1989. They provide the right to take or store a volume of water subject to a range of conditions. Bulk entitlements are held by specified authorities, such as water corporations, while environmental entitlements are held by the Victorian Environmental Water Holder.
You can find out more about bulk entitlements and environmental entitlements on the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action website.
