Processing Times for Water Trades - Report
Service standards for processing allocation and entitlement trade applications in
the Murray-Darling Basin have been developed as part of COAG water reforms to improve
the operation of the water market. The trade service standards for South Australia
are:
Allocation Trade Service Standards
Intra-state allocation trades
|
90 Percent of allocation trades within 10 business days
|
Interstate allocation trades
|
90 Percent of allocation trades within 20 business days
|
Entitlement Trade Service Standards
Approval Stage (intra-state and interstate)
|
90 Percent of entitlement trades within 20 business days
|
Registration Stage (intra-state and interstate)
|
90 Percent of entitlement trades within 10 business days
|
The allocation trade service standards commenced on 1 January 2009. The entitlement
trade service standards, which apply only in relation to the River Murray Prescribed
Watercourse, commenced on 1 July 2009.
Performance against the trade service standards is to be monitored and reported
in accordance with Monitoring and Reporting Frameworks for Allocation and Entitlement
Trades. Reporting of performance is on a cumulative basis for each water year, updated
monthly.
Service standards for processing transfer of allocations in the McLaren Vale Prescribed Wells
Area will be completed in a timeframe consistent with the trade service standards for South Australia.
A new on-line application and self-assessment tool has been introduced into the McLaren Vale PWA, resulting
in expected application processing times of 10 business days or less.
South Australia’s performance against the trade service standards is shown in the
