Bore Licensing Requirements
Water Bore Licensing Requirements for New South Wales
Water NSW Licensing Requirements
Prior to bore construction, approval is required from Water NSW. We suggest you print off the forms first, gather all the necessary information, and apply online. Prices will vary depending on the type of license. Approval times will also vary.
You will require:
- A map of your property and your intended location
- Lot & DP numbers
- Credit card information
Please do not hesitate to contact our office should you require any assistance with the forms.
The Drilling Process
An approval from Water NSW is vital prior to construction. It is necessary for compliance with regulations. CBJ Drilling Services are here to make the steps as easy and simple as possible.
- Call CBJ Drilling Services on 0428 665 116 to organise your obligation-free inspection and put your name on our drill schedule.
- After your inspection, apply for your appropriate licence online at www.waternsw.com.au.
- Once approved, email your licence to info@cbjwaterbores.com.au.
- Our office will apply on your behalf for "Dial Before You Dig".
- Attend your local council for a map of your underground services.
- Once drilling commences, we are usually in and out of your property within a couple of days.
- Your Form A paperwork will be forwarded to you when payment is received.
- The Form A is then taken to your irrigation/pump company and a pump is tailored to your needs. You will have to purchase your pump after the completion of the bore as flow, depths, and other information is required.
