Processing of Water Share Transfer Applications - Dates and deadlines

Applications received before 18 June

G-MW will endeavour to process applications received before 18 June in the current 2009/10 season. If your application is not affected by or exempted from the 4% limit, submitting your application before 18 June will help to minimise any possible delays in processing.

Applications received after 18 June 2010

All applications to transfer water shares received by G-MW between 21 June and 9 July will be included in the 2010/11 ballot that will take place on 12 July. The ballot will determine the processing order for all the applications including:

  • exempted  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.

The ballot only determines the order for processing applications at the beginning of the 2010/2011 year it does not determine whether the application is successful. The ballot does not apply to allocation or groundwater trades. To find out more about the 2010/2011 ballot
