The authority’s Works Approval Permit covers landscaping, vegetation management and construction and repairs of structures such as jetties and boat ramps.
G-MW business and finance general manager Michael Gomez said it was important people obtained the necessary permits before starting works.
“As the weather gets warmer there are generally a lot of people who look to undertake works on G-MW land,” he said.
“In addition to storing water for customers, our storages provide various recreational opportunities for communities and landholders.
“Our approvals process ensure any works on G-MW land are safe and do not impact other users’ enjoyment of the storage, so it is crucial that anyone who thinks they might need a licence applies for one.”
Depending on the location, works may also need approval from the relevant councils or catchment management authority.
To apply to undertake works on G-MW land, people can expand the ‘Property Services’ tab on the ‘Forms’ page of the G-MW website: https://www.g-mwater.com.au/customer-servicesresources/forms
