“After engaging Queensland Water Advisory Services my ongoing issue regarding my water license was resolved quickly and smoothly. QWAS facilitated my enquiries with the Queensland Government and helped my negotiations with a resource company which wanted to access our water license. All in all I was very pleased I had engaged a professional to help me navigate a process which was causing me significant stress when I was handling it on my own”.
