Water Act 2007

The Director of Meteorology may at any time publish, in a form readily accessible by the public, particular water markets information or information about water markets decisions that the Bureau holds.

However, the Director of Meteorology must not publish water markets information or information about water markets decisions:

if the Director believes it would not be in the public interest; or

to the extent that the information identifies a particular individual by means of the individual’s name, address, customer number or account number or other identifier, unless the information:

is already published; or

is otherwise publicly available.

For the purposes of paragraph (2)(b), information does not identify a particular individual:

merely because the individual’s identity can be ascertained from the information, due to the nature or volume of a trade or transfer of an eligible tradeable water right; or

in other circumstances prescribed by the regulations.
