Extension of compliance dates for Southern Inland and Coastal water users
In December 2022, the NSW Government extended the non-urban metering compliance dates for the Southern Inland and Coastal regions of NSW. This gave water users additional time to comply after major flood events.
As a result, some documents in this library may show different compliance dates. View the current compliance dates: Non-urban metering.
