If you wish to extract water from a particular waterway in the Moreton Bay, Noosa or Sunshine Coast regions (such as a creek or river), you may need a licence.

The Queensland State Government is responsible for managing the extraction of water from State waterways.

Information is available from the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy website.
