12 Performance indicators The following performance indicators are to be used to measure the success of the strategies of this Plan in reaching the objectives of this Plan:
(a) change in low flow regime; (b) change in moderate to high flow regime; (c)
change in surface water extraction relative to the long-term average annual extraction limits;
4
(d) change in water quality in these water sources; (e)
change in the ecological condition of these water sources and their dependent ecosystems;

Notes. 1 Domestic and stock rights are set out in Division 1 of Part 1 of Chapter 3 of the Act and must be exercised in accordance with any mandatory guidelines established under the Act with respect to the taking and use of water for domestic consumption or stock watering.
2 Inherent water quality and land use activities may make the water in some areas unsuitable for human consumption. Water from these water sources should not be consumed without first being tested and, if necessary, appropriately treated. Such testing and treatment is the responsibility of the water user.
[12] Clause 21
Omit the clause. Insert instead:
21 Native title rights The water requirements of persons entitled to native title rights within these water sources are estimated to be 26.6 megalitres per year (hereafter ML/year) in the
Kangaroo River Management Zone in the Shoalhaven River Water Source.
Note. A change in native title rights may occur pursuant to the provisions of the Native Title Act
1993 (Cth).

Omit clause 56 (4). Insert instead:
(4) Subject to subclause (5A) and (5B), a flow class applies in the respective water source or management zone on the day specified in Column 7 of Table C when flows (the flow of water in ML/day) as measured at the flow reference point specified in Column 6 of Table C are equal to the flow specified in Column 5 of Table C and/or meet any other conditions specified in the Column. [27] Clause 56 (5A) – (5C)
Insert after clause 56 (5):
(5A) For flow classes that are determined based on flows at more than one flow measuring gauge, on any day that it is not possible to determine the flow at a flow reference point specified in Column 6 of Table B due to flow data not being available from a flow measuring gauge, then the flow class applies for the relevant management zone when flows as measured at the remaining functioning gauge specified in Column 6 of Table B are equal to the flows specified in Column 5 of Table B for that gauge.
(5B) Subject to subclause (5A), if, in the Minister’s opinion, accurate flow data is not available on a particular day from a flow measuring gauge used to determine a flow class, the Minister may determine the flow class that applies for that day and notify the licence holder in writing of the flow class that applies for that day. For the purpose of this
subclause, notification includes publishing a notice on the Department’s website.
(5C) For the purpose of determining the flow class that applies on a particular day under subclause (5B), the Minister may take into consideration evidence of past and current flows and readings at other functioning upstream and downstream gauges.
Note. On days that accurate flow data is not available, holders of access licences may contact the
Department’s office at the address listed in Appendix 3 or check the Department’s website to find
out what flow class applies on that day.

[29] Clause 57 Access rules for the taking of surface water
Insert after clause 57 (3):
(3A) This clause applies to the taking of water under an access licence from these water sources, excluding the taking of water under an access licence used:
(a)
in association with an aquifer interference activity that is an approved EP&A Act development when:
(i) in the Minister’s opinion, there are no reasonably practicable measures the access licence holder can take to comply with the access rules under this
clause; and(ii) the access licence holder has a water management plan for the aquifer interference activity that has been approved in accordance with the development consent for the activity under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979; and
(iii) the water management plan includes conditions that require the return of water to the water source to mitigate the taking of water during times when the access rules apply under this clause; or
(b) in association with an aquifer interference activity when:
(i) in the Minister’s opinion, there are no reasonably practicable measures the access licence holder can take to comply with the access rules under this
clause; and(ii) the access licence holder has a water management plan for the aquifer interference activity that has been approved by the Minister; and
(iii) the water management plan includes conditions that require the return of water to the water source to mitigate the taking of water during times when the access rules apply under this clause.

[32] Clause 57 (5A)
Insert after clause 57 (5):
(5A) The cease to take condition that arises from subclause (5) applies to all water supply works that are nominated by the access licence following a dealing under section 71S or 71W of the Act.
Notes.
1 This will include, for example, all water supply works that are nominated by the access licence following a dealing under section 71S or 71W of the Act.
2 Cease to take condition is defined in the Dictionary.
[33] Clause 57 (13) – (14)
Omit clause 57 (13) – (14). Insert instead:
(13) Water must not be taken under an access licence from:
(a) an in-river dam pool, or (b) a runoff harvesting dam pool, created by a structure authorised by a water supply work approval, when flows or storage levels in that pool are at or less than a cease to take condition that was specified on the
31
Water Act 1912 entitlement that the access licence replaces.
Note. In-river dam pool is defined in the Dictionary.
(14) Water must not be taken from an in-river dam pool unless the in-river dam is:
(a)
constructed, operated and maintained in accordance with any conditions specified on the water supply work approval for the in-river dam; and
(b)
passing such flows in such circumstances as are specified on the water supply work approval for the in-river dam.
Note. In-river dam is defined in the Dictionary.
[34] Clause 57 (16)
Omit the subclause and the note to the subclause. Insert instead:
(16) Subject to subclause (19), water must not be taken under an access licence which nominates a water supply work approval that may be used to take water from natural pools, lagoons or lakes in water sources or management zones in which flow classes have not been established, when the water level in that pool, lagoon or lake is less than 100% of the full containment volume of the respective pool, lagoon or lake as determined by the Minister.
