Water monitoring authority

As the holder of a mining lease or a mining development licence, you have an obligation to make good any damage you cause to surrounding water bores. You can apply for a water monitoring authority over land outside the area of your lease/licence to comply with your obligations.

The authority ends if the mining lease or mining development licence with which it is associated ends.
