Thursday 19 June 2025

A new code is being developed for water markets intermediaries. The code will be made in regulations and is due to commence in two stages: 1 July 2025 and 1 October 2025. 

The code will apply to water market intermediaries such as:

• brokers
• exchanges
• irrigation infrastructure operators (IIOs) that provide intermediary services including operating an exchange, and
• any other intermediary service providers.

Water market intermediaries will also need to follow new trust accounting obligations under the Water Act 2007, which will commence on 1 July 2025.

This online information session will provide participants:

• an overview of the new rules and when they commence
• how intermediaries can prepare themselves
• the ACCC’s approach to compliance.

Once registrations have closed, the ACCC will confirm your registration to attend virtually. Closer to the event, we will email you the livestream link.
