WATER RESOURCES ACT 2007 (NO. 19 OF 2007) - SECT 23

    (1)     A water access entitlement is subject to any condition—

        (a)     imposed when the entitlement is granted; or

        (b)     prescribed by regulation; or

        (c)     imposed on amendment of the entitlement under section 24.

Examples of conditions to which water access entitlement may be subject

1     that the water may be used only for the purpose stated in the entitlement

2     that the water may be used only in a water management area

3     that the water may be taken only from the place stated in the entitlement

4     for an entitlement to ground water granted to enable a bore to be drilled—that the entitlement will expire at the end of 12 months after the entitlement is granted if ground water is not found in that period.

Note     An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).

    (2)     The conditions to which a water access entitlement is subject are taken to be conditions of any licence to take water that is based on the entitlement.
