Invalidation of applications for licences
113A Invalidation of applications for licences
(1) If the Ministerial Corporation is satisfied that the whole or any part of
a sub-surface water basin (referred to in this section as a
"water shortage zone" ) is unlikely to have more water available than is
sufficient to meet: (a) the requirements of the licensees of the bores
situated within the water shortage zone, and
(b) such other possible
requirements from the water shortage zone as are determined by the Ministerial
Corporation,
it may, by order, place an embargo on any further applications
for licences with respect to that zone.
(2) Such an order may relate to: (a)
a specified application for a licence, or
(b) a specified class of
applications for licences, or
(c) all applications for licences, or
(d) all
applications for licences, other than: (i) a specified application for a
licence, or
(ii) a specified class of applications for licences.
(3) Notice
of such an order must be published in: (a) the Gazette, and
(b) in such other
manner as the Ministerial Corporation is satisfied is likely to bring the
order to the attention of members of the public in the district in which the
water shortage zone is situated.
(4) The notice must specify the date (being
the date of publication in the Gazette or a later date) on and from which the
order has effect.
(5) An application to which such an order relates is
invalid, and is to be rejected by the Ministerial Corporation, if it is made
on or after the date specified in the notice published in relation to the
order.
(6) Subsection (5) does not apply to: (a) an application for a renewal
of a licence, or
(b) an application for a licence for a bore to replace some
other licensed bore that the applicant has ceased to use, or
(c) an
application for a licence for a bore to produce water to satisfy a
water allocation arising from the transfer of a water allocation under
section 117J.
