Preamble
The Marne River and Saunders Creek Area was declared to be a surface water prescribed area, all watercourses in the Marne River and Saunders Creek Area were declared to be prescribed watercourses and existing and future wells in the Marne River and Saunders Creek Area were declared to be prescribed wells by the Water Resources (Marne River and Saunders Creek—Prescribed Water Resources) Regulations 2003.
Note—
Those regulations came into operation on 20 March 2003—see Gazette 20.03.2003 p1111.
Those regulations were revoked by the Water Resources (Marne Saunders Prescribed Water Resources Area) Regulations 2005 (the 2005 regulations), which declared—
(a)an area to be the Marne Saunders Prescribed Water Resources Area; and
(b)all watercourses situated in the Marne Saunders Prescribed Water Resources Area to be prescribed watercourses; and
(c)all wells situated in the Marne Saunders Prescribed Water Resources Area and wells drilled in that area after the commencement of those regulations to be prescribed wells; and
(d)the Marne Saunders Prescribed Water Resources Area to be a surface water prescribed area.
Note—
Those regulations came into operation on 7 April 2005—see Gazette 7.04.2005 p834.
Pursuant to Schedule 4 clause 54(2) of the Act, the 2005 regulations continue in force and effect as if they were regulations made under section 125 of the Act.
Pursuant to the 2005 regulations, the prescribed period in relation to the Marne Saunders Prescribed Water Resources Area ended on 20 March 2006.
The prescribed period having ended, the Minister is of the opinion that the aggregate of water access entitlements assigned to existing users under section 164N(1) and (2) of the Act exceeds the capacity of the resource.
It is now appropriate to make regulations setting out a scheme for the reduction of water access entitlements of existing users in the Marne Saunders Prescribed Water Resources Area.

Nothing in these regulations authorises an existing user to take more water under a water access entitlement than an amount equal to the user's reasonable requirements.
4—Average adjusted winter runoff
The average adjusted winter runoff (measured in megalitres) at a particular diversion structure that takes water from a tributary management sub‑zone is to be determined by multiplying the average adjusted winter runoff depth applicable at the diversion structure (as determined by the Minister) by the catchment area upstream of the diversion structure.
The average adjusted winter runoff (measured in megalitres) at a particular diversion structure that takes water from a main watercourse management sub‑zone (the main watercourse diversion structure) is to be determined by aggregating the average adjusted winter runoff volume for each tributary management sub‑zone upstream of the diversion structure.
In this regulation—
average adjusted winter runoff volume, for a tributary management sub‑zone, is the volume specified in column 2 of the table in Schedule 3 in relation to the tributary management sub‑zone.
5—Maximum theoretical enterprise requirement
For the purposes of these regulations, the maximum theoretical enterprise requirement for an existing user is to be determined as follows:
(a)if the existing user is an intensive farmer—the estimated water requirement of the user, calculated—
(i)in relation to an animal or animals of a kind referred to in the table in Schedule 1—
(A)by multiplying the number of a particular kind of animal referred to in column 1 of the table farmed by the user by the estimated water requirement in column 2 of the table relating to the relevant animal; and
(B)aggregating the amounts referred to in subsubparagraph (A) for each kind of animal intensively farmed by the user;
(ii)in the case of an intensive farmer of yabbies (Cherax destructor)—by applying the following formula in relation to the pond used to farm the yabbies (or, if the user has more than 1 such pond, by applying the formula to each such pond and aggregating the results):
where—
L means length in metres of the pond
W means width in metres of the pond
D means depth in metres of the pond
ER means the evaporation rate of 1.95 metres per year;

For the purposes of this regulation, a reference to a particular number of animals, or to the size of a particular crop, yabbie pond or washdown for dogs, will be taken to be a reference to the maximum number of animals, or size of the crop, pond or washdown, farmed or used by the existing user during the establishment period applying to the relevant land.
6—Reasonable requirements
For the purposes of these regulations, the reasonable requirements of an existing user, or a class of existing users, will be taken to be an amount of water equal to the MTER for the existing user (if any).
7—Consumptive use limit
For the purposes of these regulations, the consumptive use limit for a tributary management sub‑zone will be taken to be the amount set out in column 3 of the table in Schedule 3 relating to the relevant tributary management sub‑zone.
For the purposes of these regulations, the consumptive use limit at a diversion structure in a main watercourse management sub‑zone will be taken to be an amount equal to the aggregate of the consumptive use limits for each tributary management sub‑zone upstream of the diversion structure.
For the purposes of these regulations, an existing user's share of the consumptive use limit, in relation to a tributary management sub‑zone, will be taken to be the proportion of the available consumptive use limit for the tributary management sub‑zone that represents the proportion of the existing user's reasonable requirements as compared to the total reasonable requirements of all existing users within the management sub‑zone.
For the purposes of these regulations, an existing user's share of the consumptive use limit, at a diversion structure in a main watercourse management sub‑zone, will be taken to be the proportion of the available consumptive use limit at the diversion structure that represents the proportion of the existing user's reasonable requirements as compared to the total reasonable requirements of all existing users—
(a)in that part of the main watercourse management sub‑zone that is upstream of the diversion structure; plus
(b)in all other management sub‑zones upstream of the diversion structure.
For the purposes of this regulation, the available consumptive use limit for a tributary management sub‑zone will be taken to be the consumptive use limit for the tributary management sub‑zone less an amount equal to 30% of the capacity of all non‑licensable dams for the management sub‑zone (as at the end of the establishment period applying to the management sub‑zone).
For the purposes of this regulation, the available consumptive use limit at a diversion structure in a main watercourse management sub‑zone will be taken to be the consumptive use limit at the diversion structure less an amount equal to 30% of the capacity of—

9—Scheme for reduction of water access entitlements for existing users
Subject to this regulation, for the purposes of section 164N(3)(b) of the Act, a water access entitlement assigned to an existing user in the Marne Saunders Prescribed Water Resources Area under section 164N of the Act, or under section 36 of the repealed Act, may be reduced in accordance with the following provisions:
(a)in the case of a water access entitlement of an existing user in respect of surface water (other than surface water comprised of roof runoff)—the Minister may reduce the water access entitlement such that the amount of surface water that may be taken at a particular diversion structure under the water access entitlement is reduced to the lesser of—
(i)the existing user's share of the consumptive use limit for the user's management sub‑zone, determined in accordance with regulation 7; or
(ii)the amount of water comprising—
(A)in the case of a diversion structure that is a licensable dam—the capacity of the dam; or
(B)100% of the average adjusted winter runoff upstream of the diversion structure less—
•the amount of evaporation from each licensable and non‑licensable dam in the catchment area upstream of the diversion structure; and
•the consumptive use in the catchment area upstream of the diversion structure,
whichever is the lesser; or
(iii)the MTER for the existing user (if any);
(b)in the case of a water access entitlement of an existing user in respect of surface water comprised of roof runoff—the Minister may reduce the water access entitlement such that the amount of roof runoff that may be taken under the water access entitlement is reduced to an amount equal to 85% of the rainfall falling on the relevant roof area at any particular time;
(c)in the case of a water access entitlement of an existing user in respect of watercourse water—the Minister may reduce the water access entitlement such that the amount of watercourse water that may be taken at a particular diversion structure under the water access entitlement is reduced to the lesser of—
(i)the existing user's share of the consumptive use limit for the user's management sub‑zone, calculated in accordance with regulation 7; or
(ii)the amount of water comprising 100% of the average adjusted winter runoff at the diversion structure less—
(A)the amount of evaporation from each licensable and non‑licensable dam in the catchment area upstream of the diversion structure; and
(B)the consumptive use in the catchment area upstream of the diversion structure; or
(iii)the MTER for the existing user (if any);
(d)in the case of a water access entitlement of an existing user in respect of underground water taking the water from a category A zone—the Minister may reduce the water access entitlement such that the amount of underground water that may be taken at a particular well under the water access entitlement is reduced to the reasonable requirements of the existing user, less a percentage determined by the Minister for the purposes of this paragraph.
Despite subregulation (1), if the reduction of a water access entitlement of an existing user at a diversion structure in accordance with that subregulation would result in the amount of water allocated, or to be allocated, at the diversion structure being less than 50% of the MTER for the existing user, then the Minister may instead reduce the water access entitlement such that the amount of water allocated, or to be allocated, in relation to the water access entitlement at the diversion structure is reduced to the lesser of—
(a)50% of the MTER for the existing user; or
(b)if the water access entitlement relates to a licensable dam—the capacity of the dam.
For the purposes of this regulation, the amount of evaporation from a dam will be taken to be an amount of water equal to the lesser of—
(a)30% of the dam's capacity; or
(b)the capacity of the dam less any existing user allocation to be taken from the dam.
For the purposes of paragraphs (a)(ii) and (c)(ii) of subregulation (1), the consumptive use in a catchment area will be taken to be an amount of water equal to—
(a)the allocations for all existing users to be made from the surface water or watercourse water (as the case requires), excluding any allocations of surface water comprised of roof runoff; plus
(b)30% of the capacity of all non‑licensable dams in the catchment area.
