under the

Water Management Act 2000

His Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following

Regulation under the Water Management Act 2000.

NIALL BLAIR, MLC

Minister for Regional Water

Explanatory note

The object of this Regulation is to amend the Water Management (General) Regulation 2018 to exempt applications for water supply work approvals from the requirement to be advertised if the water supply work is to be used for the taking of water in relation to a landholder’s floodplain water usage that is to be converted into a floodplain harvesting access licence, provided that licence has not yet been granted to the landholder.

Once the licence is granted to the landholder, the requirement to advertise applications for certain water supply work approvals will apply to applications for those water supply work approvals under that licence.

This Regulation is made under the Water Management Act 2000, including section 400 (the general regulation-making power) and clause 1 (1) of Schedule 9.
