STAGE 2 WATER RESTRICTIONS - VICTORIA ONLY

28-Day Exemption - commences 1 September 2010

 

28 DAY WATERING EXEMPTION - APPLY HERE

 

The 28-Day Exemption – to transition to warm season grass provides Melbourne residents with the ability to apply to use potable (drinking) water to establish warm season grass.

As the name suggests, the exemption applies to the establishment (watering) of warm season grass only, with all other aspects of water restrictions still in place. After the exemption period ends, applicants are subject to the full breadth of current watering restrictions – which prohibits the watering of grassed areas at any time with drinking water.

Warm season grass typically takes four weeks to establish its root network and to generally become quite resilient.

The exemption has been designed to provide Melbourne households with the same measured flexibility as sportsgrounds – to invest in the long-term water efficiency of their garden by transitioning over to warm season grass.
