Our water trading process. 

We offer a professional water trading service from start to finish.  

From being unsure how to trade—to becoming a confident buyer or seller of water licences—our experience can help you maximise your water benefits. Here are the steps we take our clients through to help them trade water. 

Use Water Manager to:

  • Find licences available to purchase in different aquifers on your property.
  • List your water licences for sale.
  • Place offers and negotiate trading rates anonymously.
  • Make an agreement on a water licence trade.


We can advise on the market price of allocations for an indicative price to buy or sell water. 


One of our water specialists can also visit and evaluate the water needs of your property to determine the required allocation you should buy or sell.
Once you reach a trade agreement with a buyer or seller, we gather authority to act on behalf of both parties with DWER until this trade is complete.

We collect and hold the funds from the buyer, ensuring a smooth transaction upon trade approval. We also get the required information from both parties and process it to be lodged according to DWER assessment criteria.

This step includes:
  • Securely holding the funds in our Water Holding account prior to lodging the trade.
  • Lodging the trade application with the DWER, including professional and detailed so that the trade isn’t rejected.
We interface with DWER throughout the whole process, supporting their requirements during the assessment of the trade. DWER assesses the trade through:
  • Initial screening of the legal details and information submitted (est. 1-2 weeks).
  • Once the trade is assigned to an officer, they may request additional information from either party, which we will help provide (est. 4-8 weeks).
  • After DWER’s processing, they request payment of Stamp Duty for dutiable water transactions and issue of the Certificate of Duty prior to issuing the new licences, which we process with Office of State Revenue (est. 2-4 weeks).
  • Upon trade approval, we issue the funds to the seller (within 2 weeks) and send the new licences to both parties.
