Penneshaw groundwater prohibition area

Consultation has concluded

christmas cove, penneshaw

A groundwater prohibition area was established on 28 March 2024 and published in the Government Gazette.

The need to establish a groundwater prohibition area follows the EPA’s review of a recent environmental assessment, undertaken on behalf of the EPA, which commenced in June 2023.

Taking of groundwater is prohibited in the watertable aquifer and any deeper water bearing zones hydraulically connected to the watertable aquifer up to 30 metres below ground surface within the specified area.

The site contamination affecting the groundwater is in the form of petroleum hydrocarbons which represent actual or potential harm to human health or safety.

We are always interested in hearing from our local communities. If you have any feedback, questions or concerns, please get in touch on:
