22D Sale of land pending transfer of water allocation

(1) Despite any other provision of this Act, if the land to which an entitlement relates is sold before a transfer under this Part (or under the regulations made under this Part) of the whole or part of the water allocation (or the water rights) in respect of the entitlement has been completed in accordance with this Part (or those Regulations), the sale of the land does not:

(a) if the whole of the water allocation (or the water rights) in respect of the entitlement is being transferred--operate to pass the benefit of the entitlement to the occupier for the time being of the land, and

(b) if only part of the water allocation (or the water rights) for the entitlement is being transferred--operate to pass the benefit of the relevant part of the entitlement to the occupier for the time being of the land, and

(c) prevent the transfer of the whole or the part of the water allocation (or the water rights) from being completed in accordance with this Part or those Regulations.

(2) In this section,
"entitlement" and
"water allocation" have the same meanings as in section 20V.
