Water Management Act 2000

Subject to sections 71M, 71N and 74, any dealing in relation to an access licence held by co-holders, and any application for the Minister’s consent to such a dealing, requires the consent of all of the co-holders (a co-holder’s consent).

A co-holder of an access licence may, in accordance with the regulations—

appoint another co-holder (the first co-holder’s nominee), to give, on his or her behalf, any co-holder’s consent required by subsection (1) in relation to an application for the Minister’s consent to a dealing, and

revoke any appointment that the co-holder has made under paragraph (a).

The same person may be nominee for more than one co-holder.

Any co-holder’s consent given by the co-holder’s nominee in relation to an application for the Minister’s consent to a dealing in an access licence is taken to have been given by the co-holder.

The revocation of a nominee’s appointment under subsection (2) (b) does not affect any co-holder’s consent given by the nominee before the revocation took effect.
