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 Services system.

Once you are logged in, select Lodge an Application, then Permits & Licences and Cooling Tower / Warm Water Systems.
