22 Domestic and stock rights

Note: It is not recommended that the water from this groundwater source be consumed without prior treatment. Land use activities may have polluted the groundwater in some areas.

(1) At the commencement of this Plan the water requirements of holders of domestic and stock rights are estimated to be a total of 700 ML/yr.

Note: The volumes of water identified in subclause (2) are the total volumes of water estimated for domestic and stock rights in this groundwater source. Refer to Appendix 4 for the calculation of domestic and stock rights.

(2) This Plan recognises that the exercise of domestic and stock rights may increase during the term of this Plan.

Note: Increase in use of domestic and stock rights may occur as a result of an increase in the number of landholdings overlying this groundwater source, or as a result of the increase in the exercise of domestic and stock rights by existing landholders.
