Description
Water Control Districts (WCDs) are areas declared where there is a need for enhanced management for the sustainability of groundwater and surface water resources.
Under the Northern Territory Water Act 1992, the Minister can declare WCDs. WCDs are declared in areas where there is a high level of competition for water and/or require closer management of the water resources. Within the WCD a bore construction permit is required, water allocation plans can be developed and water extraction licences are required unless there is a specific exemption in place.
There are 8 declared water control districts in the Northern Territory:
- Darwin Rural declared 2 June 1999
- Gove declared 18 September 2002
- Daly Roper Beetaloo declared 30 September 2022
