The Queensland Government is now in caretaker mode until after the state election. Minimal updates will be made to this site until after the election results are declared.
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.
