Abstract / Summary:
CRC Project 3.2 is exploring ways of enhancing the water market reform process by conducting a socioeconomic analysis of guidelines and procedures for trading in mature water markets. Existing trading rules and procedures and their impact on regional towns and communities will be evaluated and, in partnership with industry and other interest groups, scenarios and rules and procedures for trade in the year 2010 will be developed.
Phase 1 of the project involves gleaning irrigator and community attitudes to water reform and their expectations of the future. This current report outlines the fi ndings of a survey of community and irrigators on the acceptance of water reform, the impact of water markets on regional communities and towns, and perceptions of the future direction of water markets as a result of trade in the Goulburn Broken catchment.
The survey fi ndings contribute to the overall project in providing vital information on irrigators, attitudes to breaking the nexus between land and water, points of blockage in current water markets, and possible adjustments to trading rules and procedures.
