Water Share Identity Checks and COVID-19
Goulburn-Murray Water application forms for Water Share transfers (Transfer of a Water Share and Transfer of a Water Share With Land) require a Water Share Identity check (previously known as 100-point identification check), which are legally required to be done in person.
GMW’s offices are currently closed to the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you require a Water Share Identity check during this time, you can do so via appointment with any of the following:
Once you have completed your Water Share Identity check, you or your lodging party can forward it along with your application form to watershares@gmwater.com.au
