New South Wales Consolidated Regulations

WATER SHARING PLAN FOR THE NSW BORDER RIVERS REGULATED RIVER WATER SOURCE 2009 - REG 16

16 Native title rights

(1) At the commencement of this Plan, there are no holders of native title rights in this water source and therefore native title rights are 0 ML/yr.

(2) This Plan recognises that native title rights may increase during the term of this Plan.

Note: An increase in native title rights may occur as a result of the granting of native title rights under the Commonwealth Native Title Act 1993 .

(3) The water supply system shall be managed so that it would be capable of maintaining supply to those exercising native title rights in this water source through a repeat of the worst period of inflows into this water source prior to the commencement of this Plan, as represented in flow information held by the Department.

(4) To achieve subclause (3), sufficient volumes of water must be set aside from assured inflows into this water source and reserves held in Pindari Dam and Glenlyon Dam water storages.
