Sunshine Coast Large Diameter Irrigation
On the Sunshine Coast, managing irrigation efficiently is crucial for farms, nurseries, and acreage properties. Cheyenne Drilling offers large diameter irrigation bores designed to deliver high-volume water access where it’s needed most. With over 16 years of regional drilling experience, we understand the diverse terrain across the hinterland and coastal plains—from sandy soils to rockier ground.
Our team uses heavy-duty equipment to drill wide, deep bores that can support long-term irrigation demands, including pivot systems, high-pressure setups, and seasonal farming needs. We help local landowners create reliable water sources for year-round productivity and reduce reliance on rainwater or dams. Every bore is tailored to site conditions, ensuring efficiency, safety and water security.

Local Knowledge Matters
Sunshine Coast properties vary significantly in layout and soil profile, from coastal sand to volcanic foothills. That’s why we assess each site thoroughly before drilling a large diameter irrigation bore. Our team reviews water depth history, site topography and intended irrigation setup before recommending bore size and placement.
We handle everything from clearing the drill area to finalising casing installation, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum lifespan. Whether you need water for pastures, crops or commercial use, our customised approach means your bore is designed with long-term value in mind.
Can large diameter bores support multiple irrigation systems?
Yes. These bores offer greater flow capacity, making them ideal for supporting multiple outlets or irrigation zones. On larger Sunshine Coast properties with varied water needs—such as orchards, paddocks, and gardens—a single large diameter bore can supply multiple systems. This reduces the need for multiple shallow bores and simplifies maintenance. Properly constructed, they provide consistent pressure across zones and support longer irrigation runs without drop-off.
What determines the best bore location?
We consider several factors: groundwater depth, terrain slope, ease of access, and future infrastructure plans. For Sunshine Coast sites, the goal is to locate stable aquifers while maintaining distance from potential contaminants like septic systems or livestock yards. We also avoid flood-prone areas where surface water might interfere with long-term bore performance. Our water divining service is available for clients who want added assurance before drilling begins.
How long does drilling take?
The process typically takes a few days, depending on the depth and complexity of the site. For Sunshine Coast projects, we usually begin with a site consultation, followed by mobilisation and setup. The actual drilling time varies based on ground material—sand, clay or rock—and the bore diameter. Once drilling is complete, we install casing and seal the bore properly. We’ll walk you through maintenance tips and provide any relevant documentation.
