The Commissioners Waters, a watercourse [1] that is part of the Macleay River catchment, is located in the Northern Tablelands region of New South Wales, Australia.
Commissioners Waters was formed by the confluence of the Dumaresq Creek and Tilbuster Ponds. Commissioners Waters is located about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) east of Armidale. The river flows generally to the southeast by south, joined by a minor tributary, before reaching its confluence with the Gara River.
