90 Activities outside area of operations
If an operating licence has been issued to the Corporation under this Act, the Corporation may—
exercise outside the area of operations, on behalf of the Water Administration Ministerial Corporation, the right to the use and flow, and to the control, of water conferred on the Water Administration Ministerial Corporation by section 12 of the Water Administration Act 1986, and
undertake activities in the exercise of any such right outside the area of operations,
for the purpose of supplying water to councils or the owners or occupiers of land in the vicinity of the bulk supply lines (or carrying out any other activities previously authorised under section 13 (5) of the Water Board Act 1987).
Subsection (1) applies only until such time as the Corporation is granted a licence or permit by the relevant authority for the purpose referred to in that subsection and the Minister, by certificate published in the Gazette, certifies that such a licence or permit has been granted.
Subsection (1) applies only if the activities are necessary for the purpose of providing systems or services that the Water Board was authorised to provide in accordance with a Ministerial consent under section 13 (5) of the Water Board Act 1987 that was current on the repeal of that Act.
This section applies to an activity only until the Minister revokes the consent or the activity becomes the subject of an operating licence.
This section has effect despite anything in the Water Administration Act 1986.
