WATER SHARING PLAN FOR THE TOMAGO TOMAREE STOCKTON GROUNDWATER SOURCES 2003 - REG 24

24 Estimate of water requirements

(1) At the time of commencement of Part 2 of Chapter 3 of the Act, the requirements identified for water for extraction under access licences within these groundwater sources are estimated to be as follows:

(a) 1,300 ML/yr, plus 25,300 ML/yr averaged over 3 years for Hunter Water Corporation, in Tomago,

(b) 800 ML/yr, plus 3,700 ML/yr averaged over 3 years for Hunter Water Corporation, in Tomaree, and

(c) 3,100 ML/yr in Stockton.

Note: The amount of water specified in this Part is an estimate of the water that licence holders desire to take under access licences. It is not a commitment to supply that water.

(2) This Plan recognises that the total requirements for water for extraction under access licences within these groundwater sources may change during the term of this Plan as a result of:

(a) the granting, surrender, non-renewal or cancellation of access licences, or

(b) the volumetric quantification of the share components of existing access licences that are currently non-volumetric.
