74 Reviewing submissions about draft water entitlement notice
(1) This section applies if there is a properly made submission from an
affected person about a draft water entitlement notice.
(2) After the last
day for the making of submissions about the draft water entitlement notice,
the chief executive must—
(a) collate information about all properly made
submissions made about the draft; and
(b) give the collated information to a
referral panel.
(3) The panel must review the draft water entitlement notice
and the submissions and make recommendations to the chief executive within 40
business days after receiving the collated information.
(4) However,
subsection (2) does not apply for a submission if the chief executive is
satisfied that—
(a) the submission requests a change to the draft water
entitlement notice that would be inconsistent with the water plan that the
draft is to implement; or
(b) the draft should be amended in accordance with
the submission.
