It was all systems go at our most recent Macalister Irrigation District permanent water share auction, with 16 of the 21 lots selling. And that’s good for customers wanting to bolster their supplies because we’re selling the remaining water. 

We have 400 High Reliability Water Shares and 250 Low Reliability Water Shares remaining for sale. Pricing for these shares is equal to the highest price paid at our last water auction and is in line with our water sales policy. Visit our water auctions and sales page for details of the results of the auction held on 2 April 2025. 

The remaining High Reliability Water Shares will be sold at a set price of $3,000 per megalitre and $214 per megalitre for our Low Reliability Water Shares (plus purchasing fees). Visit the Southern Rural Water Exchange to buy. 

Customers have the flexibility to purchase either High Reliability Water Shares or Low Reliability Water Shares and the ability to purchase variable quantities starting from just one megalitre.  

Customers will be able to purchase these water shares up until close of business on Monday 30 June 2025.  

Please note, these shares do not come with 2024/25 water allocation.
