Water bills for this quarter have been delayed due to technical issues. Normal payment terms will apply once the bills are issued.We apologise for this inconvenience. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
There are two canal systems in our local government area:
We maintain the canals in accordance with prescribed guidelines. We levy a special rate on properties in the Broadwater Estate to fund maintenance activities.
If you have any questions relating to the Broadwater Canals, please contact the Broadwater Canal Maintenance Plan Community Reference Group by emailing broadwatercrg@yahoo.com.
Property owners along the canals are responsible for the maintenance and repair of the retaining wall and 2.1 metres of the adjacent beaches to their property boundary. We maintain the waterways and flood structures within the canals and public beach areas.
The beach zone and waterway itself, outside the 2.1 metre property boundary from the wall, is Council responsibility, and we also maintain the beach zone, waterways and flood structures within the canals.
The Broadwater Canal Management Plan and the Settlement Shores Canal Management Plan outline our responsibilities in managing and maintaining the canals.
