Sydney Water Act 1994

Each regulatory agency must give notice of the preparation of the memorandum of understanding to which it is a party.

The notice is to be given in a newspaper circulating in the Corporation’s area of operations (or in a manner that the regulatory agency concerned is satisfied is likely to bring the notice to the attention of members of the public in the area of operations) and must—

specify the address of the place at which copies of the memorandum of understanding may be inspected, and

specify the address to which representations concerning the memorandum of understanding may be forwarded.

Any person may, within 30 days or such longer period as may be specified in the notice, make representations to the regulatory agency concerning the memorandum of understanding.

Each regulatory agency must, on the expiration of the period referred to in subsection (3), and before entering into the memorandum of understanding, consider any representations made under this section.

Notice of the execution of a memorandum of understanding is to be published in the Gazette and in a newspaper circulating in the area of operations (or in a manner that the regulatory agency that is a party to the memorandum of understanding is satisfied is likely to bring the notice to the attention of members of the public in the area of operations) within 14 days after the execution.

The requirements of this section apply to an amendment to a memorandum of understanding in the same way as they apply to a memorandum of understanding.
