EXPLANATORY NOTE

At present, the Wentworth Irrigation Regulations 1926 require the successful applicant for a lease of land to which the Regulations apply to execute a lease in a prescribed form.

The object of this Regulation is to amend those Regulations so as to allow the execution of a lease in any form approved by the Ministerial Corporation.

The Regulation also inserts references to the Water Administration Ministerial Corporation constituted by the Water Administration Act 1986 in place of references to its predecessors and deletes an obsolete Regulation and two Forms which are longer required.
