(a) The planned completion date for the Common Registry System (CRS) is September 2012.
(b) On completion, the CRS will:
· Record water entitlements
· Support timely and low cost water transfers
· Support faster processing of temporary trades
· Provide improved information dissemination for water market participants to protect the interests of buyers and sellers.
(c) The Department of Water is not contributing funds to the development of the CRS.
(d) The CRS is a component of the National Water Market System which is being funded by the Australian Government through the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA).
The total budget to establish the National Water Market System is $56 million (the CRS is one part of this).  The DEWHA is beginning a tender process for services to design and develop the CRS. Anticipated costs for each component of the National Water Market System are commercially sensitive at this time.
