We are responsible for the management of compliance and enforcement actions in relation to a range of non-urban water services under the Water Act.
In order to maintain equity between delivering water and protecting resources, it is essential that potential breaches of the Act are investigated and appropriate compliance and enforcement action taken.
We make compliance and enforcement decisions on an individual basis, with responses taken being proportionate to the seriousness of the offence. We will not hesitate to take strong enforcement action when required.
We have access to a number of compliance and enforcement tools to ensure water use compliance, including investigation and prosecution.
For more information and to see how we align with Victoria’s Non-urban water and compliance enforcement, visit the Victorian government Agriculture and Industry website.
