When water supply emergency ends

25J When water supply emergency ends

(1) The Governor in Council must make a regulation under this section if the Minister considers a water supply emergency has ended.
(2) The regulation must state—
(a) that the water supply emergency to which it applies no longer exists; and
(b) the actions that may be taken, or continue to be taken, to deal with circumstances arising because of the water supply emergency, including any actions taken under a water supply emergency regulation that must be completed or discontinued.
(3) However, for the regulation to state that an action taken under a water supply emergency regulation must be completed, the Minister must be satisfied it would be detrimental to the interests of the State or another entity not to complete the action, taking into account the following—
(a) the extent of work undertaken;
(b) the obligations arising under any contract or other agreement;
(c) any costs or other amounts the State or another entity is liable to pay;
(d) the amount of money spent;
(e) any other relevant circumstance.
(4) The actions that may be taken or continue to be taken include giving any directions that could have been given under the water supply emergency regulation if the emergency continued to exist.
(5) Subject to a regulation under this section, the ending of a water supply emergency has no effect on the exercise of powers under this part.
