Water Management Act 2000

The regulations may contain provisions of a savings or transitional nature consequent on the enactment of the following Acts—

Such a provision may, if the regulations so provide, take effect from the date of assent to the Act concerned or a later day.

To the extent to which such a provision takes effect from a date that is earlier than the date of its publication in the Gazette, the provision does not operate so as—

to affect, in a manner prejudicial to any person (other than the State or an authority of the State), the rights of that person existing before the date of that publication, or

to impose liabilities on any person (other than the State or an authority of the State) in respect of anything done or omitted to be done before the date of that publication.

If the regulations so provide, such a provision has effect despite any other provision of this Schedule, Schedule 10 or Schedule 11.
