Applications and fees
Please note: The current drought has increased the number of works approval applications for groundwater bores, which is causing extended delays in the processing time.
Depending on the application type and complexity, with other agencies involved in the approval, it may take up to 6 months for your application to be determined. You can track the progress of your application and we thank you for your patience and understanding.
Use our Water Applications Online service to apply, pay and track the status of some applications online. Applying online is a quick and easy option that can be processed faster and gives you visibility of what stage your application is at throughout the process.
