Development assessment for water-related operational works

Queensland's Planning Act 2016 sets out how development proposals are made and assessed. The table below shows the assessment categories and their requirements, which are explained in this guide.

Determining the assessment category

To determine which assessment category applies to your work, you should check:

• the Water Regulation 2016
• your catchment's water plan and any applicable moratorium notices.

If you need help to determine the assessment category for your water-related operational works, contact your local water management office of the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy.
