Before you install or operate a cooling tower, you need to get development approval from Council.
You will also need to notify us about the system, and follow NSW Health guidelines to control the risk of legionella.
These rules also apply to water warming systems on buildings like hospitals and nursing homes.
Notify Council
You must notify Council before you start operating a cooling tower or water warming system.
To submit a notification, you must log in or register in our Online Self Service system. Please note, multi-factor authentication (MFA) will be required when logging into your account.
Once you are logged in, under Apply for..., select Permits or Licences then choose Cooling Tower / Warm Water Systems in the drop-down menu.
