Survey

Hydrogeological and borewell survey.

Professional surveys of groundwater distribution, movement and quality. This is the work that tells you whether there is water worth drilling for, and it is what a CGWA application rests on.

A survey produces contours, not opinions. Where they bunch, the gradient is steep; where they sit low, the water is shallow. The bore goes where the evidence puts it.

Who approves it

Feeds the CGWA application

A survey is not itself a permit. It produces the hydrogeological evidence CGWA requires before it will consider an extraction case - aquifer characteristics, water table, quality, and a defensible yield estimate.

Done first, it also answers the commercial question: whether the site can support the volume you need at all, before money goes into a bore.

Where this sits

The stages this service covers.

Survey work sits at the front of the NOC sequence. The later stages belong to the application itself.

  1. 01

    Pre-application guidance

    Feasibility check before you spend anything. If the site cannot clear, you hear it here.

  2. 02

    Document preparation

    Hydrogeological study, site records, and the full CGWA document set assembled.

What tends to come with it.

A survey usually leads to one of two things: an application, or a bore.
