The Ti-Tree Water Control District was first declared in 1983. Since then, it has been revised and was re-declared in October, 2009. The District covers an area over 14,000 square kilometres and includes the Ti-Tree groundwater basin and its surrounding catchments. The aquifers of Ti-Tree Basin are the major water resource in the region. The town of Ti-Tree is approximately 200km north of Alice Springs, and 300km south of Tennant Creek. The district has a population of about 1,000 people and all water supplies are drawn from groundwater. The Ti-Tree Water Resource Strategy, 2002 was the first water allocation plan for the Northern Territory. Irrigated agriculture constitutes the main use of water in the district. The water resource strategy expired in 2014.

Water Control Districts are declared in areas where there is a high level of competition for water and/or require closer management of the water resources.

Water management rules apply to people wanting to access and use water within the Water Control District which includes the requirement for:

• Bore construction permits; and

• Water extraction licences to take surface and groundwater

NOTE:

• Water for rural stock and domestic use is exempt from licensing.

• There may be other specific exemptions which apply generally in the Northern Territory depending on the water user.

A water control district also allows for a water allocation plan to be developed. There is a new water allocation plan being prepared for Ti-Tree. It sets out the framework for water management in the Ti-Tree Water Control District.

If you have any questions about permit or licensing requirements in the area, please email: water.licensing@nt.gov.au for water planning enquires, email: waterresources@nt.gov.au
