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:

  • A solicitor;
  • An Australian consular official;
  • A chartered accountant;
  • A member of the Institute of Legal Executives;
  • An Australian legal practitioner;
  • A certified practicing accountant, or
  • A public notary.

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

If you have any queries about a GMW application form or need assistance, you can phone us on 1800 013 357.

 

Goulburn-Murray Water is currently experiencing increased licence application workloads associated with the ongoing dry conditions. While we are making every effort to process applications in a timely manner, please be advised that applications are currently taking up to an additional eight weeks to process. We thank you for your patience and ask that you factor these timeframes into your planning.
