Water-related developments
Water-related development is any constructed works that take or interfere with water from watercourses, lakes, springs, aquifers or overland flow. Such works may be pumping equipment, diversion channels, weirs, barrages, dams, or bores.
Water-related development may be either self-assessable, assessable under a code, or requires an impact assessment before a development permit can be issued.
Water bore construction requirements
The drillers' licensing system requires drillers to comply with minimum construction standards for water bores. These standards provide information and a technical standard for the construction of water bores.
Overland flow
The taking of overland flow can be limited by a moratorium for the catchment area or by rules in a relevant Water Resource Plan.
