The Water Management Act 2000 empowers a private irrigation board (PIB) to take over an existing water supply work on a site within its private irrigation district (PID), subject to various requirements including the Minister’s and the Governor’s authorisation. If the take over is so authorised, the control and management of the work vests in the PIB on and from the vesting date specified in a notice of the proposed take over served by the PIB on the landholder of the land on which the work is situated.
The object of this Regulation is to exempt, until 30 June 2014, Anabranch Water (being the PIB for the Great Anabranch of the Darling River Private Water Supply and Irrigation District) from the requirements that it must not serve such a notice after the expiration of 12 months after the constitution of its PID or on any person in respect of a work that belongs to, or is under the control or management of, a public authority.

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.
