Another small Broken system seasonal determination increase
The Resource Manager for northern Victoria today announced an update of 2025/26 seasonal determinations.
The seasonal determination in the Broken system increases from 46 per cent of high-reliability water shares (HRWS) to 47 per cent HRWS.
Seasonal determinations in the Goulburn and Loddon systems are unchanged at 73 per cent HRWS.
The Bullarook seasonal determination remains at 33 per cent HRWS.
The Murray and Campaspe systems are unchanged at 100 per cent HRWS.
Resource Manager Mark Bailey said hot and dry conditions meant there was very little resource improvement since the last assessment.
“Hot conditions and a lack of rainfall across northern Victoria meant evaporation and river operating requirements were close to our estimates in most systems,” Dr Bailey said. “Slightly lower than estimated operating requirements in the Broken system allowed the small seasonal determination increase announced today.”
