Water Management Act 2000

The Minister may, by the order by which a management committee is established or by a subsequent order in writing—

direct the committee to prepare a draft management plan, and review any related implementation program, on any aspect of water management, including (but not limited to)—

water sharing, and

water source protection, and

drainage management, and

floodplain management, and

set terms of reference in accordance with which such a plan is to be prepared.

A management committee to which such an order is given is to prepare a draft management plan in accordance with the terms of reference specified in the order.

If the management committee fails to prepare a draft management plan in accordance with its terms of reference, the Minister may make a Minister’s plan under section 50 in respect of the matter.
