Let us help you navigate the water market with confidence and clarity.

Clear, practical guidance to help you understand your responsibilities under the NSW non‑urban metering regulations. We assess your individual circumstances to determine whether you are legally required to install a compliant meter, or whether you fall into a category of water users who are not subject to metering requirements. This includes reviewing your water source, the size and type of your pump, bore or diversion, your licence conditions, and any relevant metering zones. 

We also identify and explain any exemptions that may apply, such as small‑works exemptions, stock and domestic use, inactive works, or situations where metering is impractical, and advise whether you meet the criteria. 

If metering is required, we provide straightforward, actionable advice on what type of meter you need, whether telemetry applies, how to engage a qualified installer, and how to remain compliant over time - giving you a simple path to meeting your regulatory obligations.

If your Water Sharing Plan is due for a remake, it’s important to understand how the changes may affect you. Revised plans can alter your access conditions, which in turn may influence your water availability and operational decisions.

We can prepare submissions on your behalf and liaise directly with government departments throughout the remake process. If you need representation or guidance to ensure your interests are properly considered, we’re here to assist every step of the way.
