Stage 1 Watering Restrictions come into effect on Thursday, May 1, 2025. Please follow the restrictions and be aware of your water use.
Watering restrictions come into effect to maintain enough water for firefighting and other essential services during the summer months, when there is a jump in demand.
Residential lawn watering is permitted as follows:
• Even-numbered addresses on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays from 5 to 9 a.m. and 7 to 10 p.m.
• Odd-numbered addresses on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 5 to 9 a.m. and 7 to 10 p.m.
Non-residential lawn watering, and where watering of common areas is controlled by a central system or strata and not by individual units or residents, is permitted as follows:
• Even-numbered addresses on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 1 to 8 a.m.
• Odd-numbered addresses on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, from 1 to 8 a.m.
Watering gardens, trees and shrubs by hand is permitted at any time.
Use water wisely! Tips for outdoor water conservation and lawn care:
• Mow lawns to a length of three inches or more to reduce moisture loss and sunburn.
• Set sprinklers to water for 20 minutes or less per lawn-watering session.
• Water no more than two times per week to encourage deep root systems.
• Provide good aeration and drainage to create a healthy lawn.
