WATER SHARING PLAN FOR THE COOPERS CREEK WATER SOURCE 2003 - REG 4

4 Area to which this Plan applies

(1) The area in respect of which this Plan is made is that area of land within the Northern Rivers Water Management Area known as the Coopers Creek Water Source (hereafter "this water source") as shown on the map in Schedule 2.

Note: The Northern Rivers Water Management Area is as shown on the map in Appendix 1.

Note: Maps referred to in this Plan may be inspected at offices of the Department of Water and Energy listed in Appendix 2.

(2) This water source is divided into the following management zones as shown on the map in Schedule 2:

(a) Upper Coopers Creek Management Zone, being all creeks and rivers flowing into and including Coopers Creek upstream of the junction of Bennys Creek and Coopers Creek, excluding Bennys Creek, and

(b) Lower Coopers Creek Management Zone, being all creeks and rivers flowing into and including Coopers Creek from the junction of Bennys Creek and Coopers Creek to the downstream end of this water source, including Bennys Creek.

Note: This water source has been divided into two management zones in order to separate the areas of high instream value (the Upper Coopers Creek Management Zone) from the area containing the greatest concentration of economic production assets (the Lower Coopers Creek Management Zone), which in turn allows more flexible water sharing rules to be established.
