Step 2: Simple Bore Licence QLD Process
We can take care of licensing, permits, and general guidance to ensure you meet your legal obligations.
Before you can construct a bore on your property, you must ensure that any licences or permits required for your location are sought and approved. Whether you require a licence or permit depends on your location and function of the water bore.
In QLD, a landholder generally does not need a permit for a stock and domestic bore. It is the driller’s obligation to submit to the Department of Environment and Resource Management all details of the construction of the bore.
In some areas, licences are required to drill a water bore, including intersection of the sediments of the Great Artesian Basin.

Ultimately our well drilling services offer world-leading affordable access to underground water to drought proof your property in all geologies and conditions with our world leading eco-friendly well digging technology.
Monitoring Bores
Monitoring bores are used to monitor water levels, water quality and monitor contaminants such as hydrocarbons, coliforms, pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals.
Monitoring bores are generally low-yield construction but provide for accurate water sampling and water measurements from a particular area of interest in an aquifer.
Sand Spears
Sand Spears are a type of bore used in shallow (less than 6m depth) unconfined aquifers.
Shallow installations are usually used for delivering low quantities of water for watering a garden for example.
