Section 21 Water Use Applications
We undertake water use authorisation processes in terms of Section 21 of the National Water Act, where project activities occur within or adjacent to regulated watercourses. Where water uses are triggered, we manage the preparation and submission of the required applications to ensure that developments remain legally compliant prior to commencement.
Our approach integrates aquatic specialist input, hydrological assessment and regulatory screening to provide a structured and defensible application process. By combining aquatic ecological expertise with regulatory experience, we ensure that water-related impacts are accurately assessed and appropriately authorised within applicable legislative frameworks.
Our services include
- ✓ Water Use Licence Applications (WULAs)
- ✓ General Authorisation (GA) registrations
- ✓ Water Use Licence amendment applications
- ✓ Existing Lawful Water Use (ELWU) confirmations
