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

Explanatory note
Division 4 of Part 2 of Chapter 4 of the Water Management Act 2000 provides for the construction and taking over of water supply works by private irrigation boards. Sections 156 and 157 of the Act deal with applications to take over water supply works and section 158 provides for the Governor to authorise the taking over of a water supply work. Section 159 provides that if a private irrigation board serves a notice in writing on the landholder of any lands on which is situated any water supply work on an authorised site informing the landholder that the board proposes to take over the work, the control and management of the work specified in the notice vests in the private irrigation board. Section 159 (3) provides that a private irrigation board must not serve such a notice after the expiration of 12 months after the constitution of the private irrigation district.
The object of this Regulation is to exempt the private irrigation board Anabranch Water from section 159 (3) until 30 June 2008. Anabranch Water is the corporate name of the board of management for the Great Anabranch of the Darling River Private Water Supply and Irrigation District.

This Regulation is made under the Water Management Act 2000, including section 400 (2), which empowers the making of a regulation exempting any person, matter or thing from the operation of the Act or any specified provision of the Act.
