Current allocations
Latest announcements
Our 14 April 2022 Allocation Statement is now available.
The projected minimum opening allocation for South Australian River Murray irrigators for the 2022–23 water year is 100%
With the projected minimum opening allocation being greater than 50%, carryover of allocations from 2021–22 will not be available in 2022–23.
As the projected minimum opening allocation is 100% for the 2022–23 water year, no more allocation announcements are scheduled for the 2022–23 water year. In mid-June 2022 the volume of water available for allocation will be gazetted and allocations issued for use from 1 July 2022.
