Licence applications
Application process and timeframes
Entities wishing to apply for a new, transferred or varied water industry
licence should read the following documents which outline the procedure for the
issuing of licences.
To apply for a water industry licence, entities must complete the following
application form and submit the form and any supporting documents to licensing@escosa.sa.gov.au
Following receipt of a complete application and the payment of the
application fee (as applicable), the Commission will conduct public consultation
of a minimum of four weeks. The Commission will consider any submissions
received and where appropriate, seek further information from the applicant to
inform its assessment of the application. Applicants should allow 16 weeks for a
completed licence application to be assessed.
Please note that, if an incomplete application is submitted or if further
substantiating information is required, the Commission will seek further
information from the applicant. The 16 week assessment process will only
commence once all relevant information has been provided. You are therefore
encouraged to contact the Commission at an early stage to understand any
information requirements which may be relevant to your application.
For information on the fees applicable to your licence refer to Licence
Fees.
