The water division of the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) manages the Victorian Water Register. The register informs the water-trading community about entitlements, ownership, prices and volumes traded.

Until recently, data related to trade limits and allocations were only available by downloading an Excel sheet from DELWP’s website, then creating data sets manually. To empower and educate the water-trading community and create greater transparency around trading allocations, DELWP approached us to develop a streamlined virtual representation of real-time trading data. The unique and technical nature of the project posed several challenges. However, in collaborating with key stakeholders from DELWP's water division, we co-designed an innovative Water Allocation Trading App that achieves all DELWP's objectives and a 100% user satisfaction rating.
