New South Wales Consolidated Regulations New South Wales Consolidated RegulationsThe strategies of this Plan are to:
(a) establish cease (and commence) to pump levels and flow classes,
(b) prevent the extraction of water from water pools if there is no visible flow in the vicinity of the pool,
(c) limit the amount of water that can be extracted on a daily basis from different flow classes,
(d) limit the long-term average extraction of water,
(e) protect flows to enhance the operation of fishways (should they be constructed),
(f) limit the number of new water entitlement applications that may be approved,
(g) secure water access for towns up to the limit of their demand during low flow periods,
(h) mitigate the impact on important industries that would be unable to adjust quickly to change by providing access to essential water during very dry periods,
(i) ensure that water use will be accurately monitored,
(j) clearly define access conditions for water extraction and rules for extracting water,
(k) establish rules for determining the water available from time to time under access licences,
(l) establish water allocation rules, and
(m) specify access licence dealing rules that maximise flexibility for water users without adversely impacting on this water source.
