Water Bore Drilling in Red Cliffs
Red Cliffs is an irrigation district that Lower Murray Water supplies with Murray River water, the Victorian Water Accounts say, so a block here can have a river water supply before a bore is ever considered. Whether yours does, and what a bore may add, is for Lower Murray Water to say.

Water Bore Drilling around Red Cliffs
The Accounts' table of who manages water in the Mallee basin says Lower Murray Water supplies water from the Murray River to Red Cliffs, Robinvale, Merbein and the First Mildura irrigation districts, and to the Millewa waterworks district, Carwarp and Yelta. It also says the Mallee basin relies heavily on groundwater use and that almost all surface water used in the basin is sourced from other basins.
This page does not say whether a given Red Cliffs block is inside the district, what a bore there could be used for, or what it needs before it is built. Lower Murray Water, whose region covers the municipality of Mildura, is the body to ask. The before you drill page lists what else to settle first.
Permits and Mildura Rural City Council rules
What a bore at a given address needs before it is built is for Lower Murray Water to say: the Victorian Building and Plumbing Commission's bore water page says a groundwater bore more than three metres deep goes through the local or rural water authority before it is built or altered. No Mildura Rural City Council page could be read for this site, so no council bore rule is stated.
