Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to drill a borehole?
The cost of drilling a borehole will depend on how deep we need to drill and where your property is located but in general the price ranges from $2000 to $5000. For a more accurate price, call us today on 07 4222 6666 for a specific quote for your borehole drilling project.
Do I need permission to drill a borehole?
If you want to drill a borehole in Cairns, you will need to contact the local government to find out if you need approval including a water license or a development approval. Before drilling a borehole, you will need to instruct a groundwater assessment to ensure your borehole will be successful. You will also need to employ an approved drilling contractor who holds a current Queensland driller licence.
What does a driller contractor do?
A driller will come to your property, complete a groundwater assessment and when the correct approval has been given, drill a borehole underground. They can then install a bore casing, and a pump and make sure your borehole is ready to use. The driller will also make sure your job is completed to the relevant industry standards and submit a drill log form to the Department of Regional Development, Manufacturing and Water.
