Our Requirements

Hunter Water’s Development Services Group provides a single entry point of interface for servicing the needs of developers and their consultants who do business with Hunter Water.

To make sure we can keep up with population demands we have prepared a number of development servicing strategies. These strategies show what we believe will happen and why we focus on some areas and activities.

Any work constructed must be consistent with the strategies and major developments may require a servicing concept report to be prepared. These reports identify the water supply and sewerage loadings as well as transportation options (including the need for additional works such as pump station boosters).

By working closely with businesses, we can ensure that the community’s requirements for environmental protection can be met, while allowing businesses to prosper and grow.
