New South Wales Consolidated Regulations

WATER SHARING PLAN FOR THE DORRIGO PLATEAU SURFACE WATER SOURCE AND DORRIGO BASALT GROUNDWATER SOURCE 2003 - REG 67

67 Rules for change of surface 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 that change the surface water source to which an access licence applies are prohibited in this surface water source, unless provided for in this clause.

(3) An access licence with a share component specifying this surface water source may be cancelled and a new licence issued in another surface water source only if:

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

(b) the access licence dealing rules in the other surface water source permit such a dealing.

(4) An access licence with a share component specifying another surface water source may be cancelled and a new licence issued in this surface water source only if:

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

(b) the access licence dealing rules in the other surface water source permit such a dealing.

(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.

(7) Dealings under section 71R of the Act that change the water source to which an access licence applies are prohibited in this groundwater source.
