Binnaway Water Supply Scheme Test Drilling

ClosedClose date: 7 August 2026

About this tender

Warrumbungle Shire Council is undertaking the Binnaway Test Drilling Program to investigate potential groundwater resources that may contribute to the long-term security and resilience of the Binnaway Water Supply Scheme. Previous hydrogeological investigations have identified several prospective groundwater target formations within the project area, including both shallow and deep sandstone aquifers. The proposed program will validate these findings through test drilling, geological logging, aquifer testing, and water quality assessment to determine the suitability of identified groundwater resources for future production bore development.
