Anglesea Borefield Groundwater Bulk Entitlement Application

Extracting groundwater

The Minister for Water has granted Barwon Water a bulk entitlement under the Water Act 1989, to take groundwater from the Anglesea borefield.

The entitlement is to extract an average of 7000 million litres of groundwater from the borefield each year, as part of Barwon Water’s long-term plan to secure the Geelong region’s water supplies.

The Minister for Water signed the Bulk Entitlement (Anglesea Groundwater) on 29 June 2009, following a public submissions process.

To find out more about the borefield, contact Barwon Water. For more on the bulk entitlement, contact the Department of Sustainability and Environment’s Customer Service Centre on 136 186.
