Supporting growth in towns at development capacity

Some towns across our region are experiencing limits in water and wastewater infrastructure capacity. While larger developments may not currently be possible in these areas, North East Water can support some small-scale housing developments.

Alpine Shire

We can currently consider developments of up to five lots in:

  • Bright
  • Porepunkah
  • Mount Beauty
  • Tawonga
  • Tawonga South

Applications will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and are subject to available infrastructure capacity.

Indigo Shire

We can currently consider developments in:

  • Beechworth: up to five lots
  • Rutherglen-Wahgunyah: up to five lots
  • Yackandandah: up to two lots

North East Water is currently unable to support new developments in Kiewa-Tangambalanga due to infrastructure capacity constraints.

Planning a development?

If you're considering a development or small subdivision in one of these towns, we recommend speaking with our Property Development team early in your planning.

Email development@newater.com.au or submit our pre-development enquiry form to discuss your proposal.

An early discussion can help you understand available infrastructure capacity and what's possible before progressing your plans.
