Water Resources Act 2007

The ACT water resource plan consists of the following:

the environmental flow guidelines, if any;

the determination of water management areas;

the determination of the total amounts of surface water and ground water available for taking under section 17;

guidelines determined under section 18, if any, for working out reasonable amounts of water for particular uses;

anything else prescribed by regulation.

The ACT water resource plan may apply, adopt or incorporate a law or instrument as in force from time to time.

The Legislation Act, section 47 (6) does not apply in relation to a law or instrument applied, adopted or incorporated as in force from time to time under this section.

Note A law or instrument applied, adopted or incorporated under this section does not need to be notified under the Legislation Act because s 47 (6) does not apply (see Legislation Act, s 47 (7)).
