The EOI process

In considering the release of water, we need to:

  • better understand the demand for water
  • better understand how much water you want
  • talk with landholders and other stakeholders who are interested in water.

Submit your expression of interest (EOI) form outlining your specific water needs.

Whilst EOIs can be made at any time, we encourage you to submit your EOI by 31 August 2025 to help us understand your demand and inform this release process.

If you submit an EOI, we will use your contact details to keep you up to date with any meetings.

We’ll review all feedback received through EOIs and meetings to help us in understanding the demand for water in this area and determining the most appropriate release process.
