Groundwater Permit Regularisation Deadline: Historical Notice
OSS announced that the regularisation period for groundwater business permits and groundwater-use approvals ended on 31 March 2026.
- Published
- 2 March 2026
- Effective
- Deadline passed on 31 March 2026
- Updated
- 7 September 2026
Who is affected
Businesses using groundwater, including hospitality properties, villas, restaurants, wellness facilities, industrial sites, and other premises operating wells or groundwater systems.
Practical impact
The special regularisation window has closed. Businesses should not treat the former deadline as an available filing route and should instead verify the present legal status of every well, extraction activity, and related approval.
This item is retained as a historical compliance notice because the deadline has passed. It must not be read as confirmation that a new regularisation application remains available.
For Bali properties that rely on wells or groundwater systems, permit status should form part of acquisition, lease, operational, and environmental due diligence.
Required action
- Check whether each groundwater source and use has the required current approval.
- Do not assume that a historical local document or the expired regularisation period is sufficient.
- Obtain current technical and legal guidance before continuing an unverified groundwater activity.
