Thanks for being world-class water savers. Because of recent rainfall, increasing dam levels and your continued commitment to water saving, we can cautiously step back from Level 6 water restrictions.

Target 170 and High Level Restrictions start 31 July 2008.

We’re asking residents to Target 170 litres a day but use only what you need. As long as we continue with our water wise habits, it’s highly unlikely we’ll ever need to return to extreme restrictions and Target 140 again.

Business and industry must continue to use water efficiently by operating in accordance with Water Efficiency Management Plans, retrofitting with water efficient devices and following best practice guidelines where applicable.

Gold Coast City Council area remains on suspended restrictions for a range of outdoor water uses but business restrictions still apply.
