Water Management Act 2000

The location to be specified in an approval for a water bore that replaces a licence under Part 5 of the 1912 Act may differ from the location specified in the licence if the water bore to which the licence relates is situated elsewhere than at the location so specified.

If the holder of a licence under Part 5 of the 1912 Act has been taking water from a different water source to that authorised by the licence because of erroneous location data, an access licence that is taken to replace that licence may be issued with a share component or extraction component (or both) that refers to the different water source rather than to the water source referred to in the replaced licence.

A licence under Part 5 of the 1912 Act which, immediately before the appointed day, related to a water bore that intersects two water sources that vertically abut each other is taken to have been replaced by—

an access licence that specifies in its share component the water source that is the main source of extraction of water, and

a water supply work approval.
