    • A trading zone profile defines the physical boundaries to, from or within which water may be traded. It contains maps, zone boundaries, zone rules, exchange rates (dependent on location and reliability class, although rare) and products that may be traded within a zone. Trading zones can be defined for different classes of water resources, ie unregulated streams, regulated streams, supplemented streams, groundwater systems and licensed runoff harvesting dams. Australian Government, n 15.

One aim of the rules is to prevent delay and obfuscation in the transformation process. Such a delay would inhibit trading. Fees are regulated by the Water Charge (Termination Fees) Rules 2009 (Cth).

    • The physical complexities imposed by the Barmah Choke, for example, preclude upstream and downstream allocation trades altogether in that area. The narrowness of the Murray River at the Choke would be likely to cause the water movement associated with the trade to flooding and watering of the Barmah-Millewa Forest, which is a designated Ramsar wetland.

    • This raises the concern that the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (CEWH) may purchase irrigator licences but not be able to use them for the purposes for which they were intended, ie flooding the plains, because the CEWH may be held liable for a breach of the trading rules by affecting/harming third parties. This question would benefit from further inquiry.

Regarding protocols, see submissions to ACCC by National Farmers Federation and the National Irrigators' Council referred to at p 36 of the Final Advice (ACCC, n 19). Arguably, the ACCC's Final Advice marginalised some dissent from free trade.
