Australian water markets report 2015-16

The Australian water markets report 2015-16 presents detailed information on water markets for the 2015-16 financial year, including statistics on water access entitlement and water allocation trade, market performance (trade processing times), entitlements on issue and environmental water. 

 National Overview (published June 2017) 
 The National overview chapter presents information for all Australian water markets summarised across three main regions: the southern Murray-Darling Basin, the northern Murray-Darling Basin and the rest of Australia. 

 Southern Murray-Darling Basin (published May 2017) 
 The southern Murray-Darling Basin (sMDB) chapter presents information for the sMDB region which contains Australia's most significant water market. Around 89 per cent of Australian surface water allocation trade occurred in this area in 2015-16. 

 Northern Murray-Darling Basin  (published July 2017) 
 The northern Murray-Darling Basin (nMDB) chapter presents information for the nMDB catchments in northern New South Wales and southern Queensland. Around 8 per cent of Australian surface water allocation trade occurred in the nMDB in 2015-16. 

 Rest of Australia  (published November 2017) 
 The Rest of Australia chapter of the Australian Water Markets Report 2015-16 provides information on significant water markets and the development of other water markets in catchments outside the Murray-Darling Basin. It covers markets in southern Victoria, coastal New South Wales, Western Australia, north-eastern Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania. It describes water availability, water ownership and uses, and water market activity. 

 Data and Methods  (published August 2017) 
 The data and methods appendix outlines the methods used to produce the Australian Water Markets Report 2015-16. It explains the data sources, cleaning applied and the final form of the data used. It also provides additional information regarding water market data issues.

Australian water markets report 2016-17

The Australian water markets report 2016-17 presents detailed information on Australian water markets for the 2016-17 financial year, including statistics on water access entitlement and water allocation trade, entitlements on issue and environmental water. It focuses on water markets in the southern Murray-Darling Basin which is Australia's most significant water market. 

Key Issues 

 The key statistics for Australian water markets in 2016-17 are: 

• Water storage levels increased 29 per cent in 2016-17, a large increase in water availability compared to 2015-16. 
• The Murray-Darling Basin accounted for 78 per cent of Australia's regulated surface water entitlements on issue (10,639 GL in the southern Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) and 3,187 GL in the northern MDB) while systems outside the MDB accounted for 79 per cent of unregulated surface water entitlements on issue (7,669 GL) and 72 per cent of groundwater entitlements on issue (6,114 GL). 
• Water allocation trade across Australia totalled 7,035 GL (an increase of 1,219 GL or 21 per cent compared to 2015-16). The southern MDB made up 86 per cent of allocation trade (6,038 GL). 
• Water entitlement trade across Australia totalled 2,072 GL (an increase of 388 GL or 23 per cent compared to 2015-16). The southern MBD made up 37 per cent of entitlement trade (775 GL) and the northern MDB made up 40 per cent of entitlement trade (820 GL). 

 Many of the trade restrictions in the southern Murray-Darling Basin were binding throughout 2016-17 (for example, the Murrumbidgee inter-valley transfer limit). 

 New types of water products such as carryover parking and futures became increasingly popular in 2016-17. 

 High level results from ABARES modelling of water markets in the southern MDB shows water demand from the dairy and rice industries fell between 2003 and 2017, while water demand from the cotton, and fruit and nut industries increased over the same period.

Ballarat Imagine Responses

Ballarat Imagine was an open discussion run by the City of Ballarat in 2013 to enable all of Ballarat’s citizens to share what they love about Ballarat, what they would like to retain in Ballarat, and what they imagine for Ballarat in light of the extensive changes projected for their city.

Over 6,500 responses were collected from Postcards, Social Media, Websites, Chalkboards and Letters to name a few. These thoughts have helped Council build a road map for a sustainable and culturally rich future, guiding Council in delivering strategic planning, projects and services that are important to the Ballarat community. 

Although all due care has been taken to ensure that these data are correct, no warranty is expressed or implied by the City of Ballarat in their use.

Australia, Register of the National Estate (RNE) - Spatial Database (RNESDB)

These data provide locational and attribute information for places on the Register of the National Estate (RNE) as determined by the Australian Government Department of the Environment and Energy, Heritage Divison.
RNE polygons with attribute information describing the place name, class (indigenous, natural, historic), 'Place_ID' (a unique identifier used to link to the textual, spatial and photographic databases) and status.
Places on the 'Interim Register of the National Estate' are included in these data.  These are attributed as "Interim" in the status field.  The "Identified" status indicates that a place has been accepted onto the register, but the assessment was performed by state government bodies.

Places subject to confidentiality agreements (or otherwise subject to s24c of the Australian Heritage Commission Act 1975) are not included in these data.

Spatial data for places (mostly historic) in cities, is currently being derived using urban cadastral data.  These sites are being incorporated into each new release, as they become available.CC - Attribution (CC BY)

Australia's agricultural industries 2017

Overview  
 Australia's Agricultural Industries 2017 map provides a snapshot of agriculture's status and trend. It shows where Australia's broad agricultural land uses are located and statistics on their area and land tenure. The map reports on the top 5 livestock, crop and horticulture commodities based on gross value of production. Trends in agricultural production, employment and exports are also given including for Australia's top 5 export commodities and destinations. 

 The map presents information in a simple and easy to understand manner and provides a useful resource for planning and regional development. 

 This map replaces the 2016 map with updated agricultural and employment data. 

 Key Issues  

• The map presents published data of current status and historical trends from ABARES and the Australian Bureau of Statistics on a single page. A change in scope of the agricultural census 2015-16 data has impacted on commodity data, particularly with some horticultural commodities. 
• This map complements ABARES Australia's Forestry Industry 2017 map.

Australia's network of Commonwealth Marine Reserves

Consistent with the Australian Government's commitment to develop a National Representative System of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), networks of Commonwealth Marine Reserves have been proclaimed for Commonwealth waters across the South-west, North-west, North, Coral Sea and Temperate East Marine Regions. These networks build on previous Marine Protected Area proclamations, including the South-east network declared in 2007.

This dataset is released under Creative Commons by Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Australia (CC BY-NC 3.0).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR MARINE USERS
Transitional arrangements apply to the South-west, North-west, North and Temperate East Networks and the Coral Sea reserve, until management plans come into effect. These arrangements involve NO CHANGES ON THE WATER for marine users. Note, there are no changes to management arrangements in the marine reserves that existed prior to the establishment of the new reserves, that is, the same restrictions on activities will continue to apply even where those reserves have been incorporated into new reserves. The South-east Network of Commonwealth Marine Reserves is managed under the South-east Commonwealth Marine Reserves Network Management Plan 2013-23, in place from 1 July 2013. More information is available at www.environment.gov.au/marinereserves 

This data contains spatial and contextual information about Commonwealth Marine Reserves under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth governments Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, which are managed by the Australian Government Department of the Environment and Energy.

NSW Office of Water Groundwater licences extract linked to spatial locations NIC v3 (13 March 2014)

## **Abstract** 

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme. This dataset was derived from multiple datasets. You can find a link to the parent datasets in the Lineage Field in this metadata statement. The History Field in this metadata statement describes how this dataset was derived.



The difference between NSW Office of Water GW licences -NIC v2 and v3 is that an additional column has been added, 'Asset Class' that aggregates the purpose of the licence into the set classes for the Asset Database. Also the 'Completed_Depth' has been added, which is the total depth of the groundwater bore. These columns were added for the purpose of the Asset Register.



The aim of this dataset was to be able to map each groundwater works with the volumetric entitlement without double counting the volume and to aggregate/ disaggregate the data depending on the final use. This has not been clipped to the NIC PAE. 



The Northern_Inland_Catchment groundwater licences includes an extract of all licences that fell within the data management acquisition area as provided by BA to NSW Office of Water.

## **Dataset History** 

The difference between NSW Office of Water GW licences - NIC v2 and v3 is that an additional column has been added, 'Asset Class' that aggregates the purpose of the licence into the set classes for the Asset Database.

Where purpose = domestic; or domestic & stock; or stock then it was classed as 'basic water right'. Where it is listed as both a domestic/stock and a licensed use such as irrigation, it was classed as a 'water access right.' All other take and use were classed as a  'water access right'. Where purpose = drainage, waste disposal, groundwater remediation, experimental research, null, conveyancying, test bore - these were not given an asset class. Monitoring bores were classed as 'Water supply and monitoring infrastructure'

Depth has also been included which is the completed depth of the bore.
