(1) The owner of land
where an irrigation or drainage system of an irrigation trust is situated may
apply to the trust for its consent to divide the land.
(2) The trust may give
its consent subject to such conditions as it thinks fit.
(3) Land may be
divided without the consent of the trust but in that event the following
provisions apply:

allotment;
(b) a
new allotment cannot be connected to an irrigation or drainage
system provided by the trust without the trust's approval;
(c) the
division will not affect any irrigation right (unless the holder of the
irrigation right applies to the trust for a new right to be issued and an
appropriate adjustment made to the terms of the irrigation right);
(d) the
trust may refuse to supply water to an allotment created by the division if
the water will pass through another allotment created by the division or the
water will be drained through another allotment created by the division.

not derogate from any other Act or law relating to the division of land.
