Feedback from 2020-21 consultation on exceeding groundwater limits
We sought feedback from stakeholders in the seven areas that were identified as the most likely to exceed groundwater extraction limits in 2020–21.
We will seek feedback from other areas in the future if they are likely to exceed their extraction limits.
Presentations with more information on extraction limits, extraction patterns in each groundwater source and the options being considered if extraction limits are exceeded are available for each groundwater source listed below.
