Water Management Act 2000

If an access licence is co-held by two or more co-holders, those co-holders are jointly and severally liable to the Minister for the fees, charges and administrative penalties relating to the licence, but as between themselves each are only liable for such part of those fees, charges and administrative penalties as is proportionate to his or her interest in the licence.

If any of those co-holders pays to the Minister more than his or her proportionate part, he or she may recover the excess by way of contribution from the others.
