Water Management Plans

More than 400 Central Coast businesses and other organisations are helping to save water under Level 3 restrictions.

Businesses and organisations who use more than 3.5 megalitres of water a year, as well as hotels, motels, resorts, caravan parks and public swimming pools are working to develop and implement water management plans to reduce their water usage.

Under level 2b restrictions, the Wyong and Gosford Councils focused on consumers of more than six megalitres of water a year. There were 200 of them, but that figure doubled once Central Coast restrictions rose to level 3. They must all develop and implement water management plans.

Audits of the affected businesses will clarify the amount of water each is using; what water saving practices they are implementing; and how much water they are saving.
