G-MW will endeavour to process applications received before 18 June in the current 2009/10 season.

Applications received Monday 21 June- Friday 9 July 2010

All water share applications received by G-MW during this period will be included in the 2010/11 ballot. The ballot will determine the processing order for applications subject to 4% limit as well as:

  • applications exempt from the 4% limit
  • to transfer water shares and land within an irrigation area,
  • to transfer water shares held by river diverters and non water users, and
  • all other non transfer applications - such as divisions and consolidations.

 

Applications received after Friday 9 July 2010

G-MW will not begin processing applications received after 9 July until all ballot applications have been processed.

If G-MW receives a large number of ballot applications it may take several months to complete processing and begin processing post-ballot applications.
