WATER SHARING PLAN FOR THE COOPERS CREEK WATER SOURCE 2003 - REG 57

57 Rules for change of water source

(1) This clause relates to dealings under section 71R of the Act.

Note: Section 71R dealings are the mechanism by which access licences can move from one water source to another. Once the change in water source has been affected, if permitted, the new licence will have to nominate specified works (by a dealing under section 71W of the Act) in the receiving water source before extraction can commence.

(2) Dealings under section 71R of the Act are prohibited in this water source, unless provided for in this clause.

(3) An access licence with a share component specifying this water source may be cancelled and a new licence issued in another water source only if the new access licence issued is within this Unit, and the access licence dealing rules in the other water source permit such a dealing.

(4) An access licence with a share component specifying another water source may be cancelled and a new licence issued in this water source only if the access licence dealing rules in the other water source permit such a dealing, and

(a) the access licence cancelled is within this Unit, and

(b) the total access licence share components in this water source do not increase above those existing at the commencement of this Plan.

(5) The volume of share component on an access licence issued under this clause is to be the volume of the cancelled access licence share component.

(6) The extraction component of the cancelled access licence is not to be carried over to the new access licence.
