85 Take of unlicensed water during measurement period
For the Act, section 115, it is a mandatory condition of a water supply work approval to which this division applies that the approval holder must not take water from a water source during a notified measurement period for a work under the approval if—
the taking of water would be under—
a basic landholder right, or
an exemption from holding an access licence, and
during the measurement period, the approval holder removes water from an approved storage work, or buffer zone area, that is located on the same landholding as the approved work, and
the water being removed—
has not been measured by point-of-intake metering equipment before its removal, or
will be used in any way other than being stored in an approved storage work located on the landholding and subject to the mandatory floodplain harvesting condition.
