IRRIGATION ACT 2009 (NO 13 OF 2009) - SECT 51

51—Recovery rights

        (1)         Any charges and any accrued interest will be a charge on the land in respect of which water is supplied or delivered, or is drained, in accordance with a scheme established by the regulations.

        (2)         Subsection (1)—

            (a)         applies subject to any Commonwealth water rules; and

            (b)         does not apply to any charges (and associated interest) of a prescribed kind.

        (3)         In addition, any charges that are not paid in accordance with a notice under section 50, together with any interest, may be recovered by the irrigation trust as a debt from a person who is liable for the payment of the charges.

        (4)         Any action to recover any charges (and interest) as a debt does not prejudice any action to recover any charges (and interest) as a charge on land, and vice versa, but any amount sought to be recovered under 1 right must be adjusted to take into account any amount actually recovered under the other right.
