Water Management (Private Irrigation New South Wales

Boards) Amendment (Group Licences)

Regulation 2002

under the

Water Management Act 2000

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Water Management Act 2000.

JOHN AQUILINA, M.P.,

Minister for Land and Water Conservation

Explanatory note

Division 4A of Part 2 of the Water Act 1912 provides for the granting of group licences to boards of management under the now repealed Private Irrigation Districts Act 1973. Those boards of management are now private irrigation boards under the Water Management Act 2000.

The object of this Regulation is to ensure that the provisions of Division 4A of Part 2 of the Water Act 1912 extend, with appropriate modifications, to the new private irrigation boards. The amendments effected by this Regulation are taken to have commenced on the commencement of the provisions of the Water Management Act 2000 that repealed the Private Irrigations Act 1973 (1 January 2000) and to expire on the commencement of the provisions of that Act that relate to approvals (by which group licences will be replaced).

This Regulation is made under the Water Management Act 2000, including section 400 (the general power to make regulations) and clause 1 of Schedule 9 (the power to make regulations of a savings or transitional nature).
