Granting subsequent licences
71H Granting subsequent licences
(1) If a licence is granted to a developer under this Part, the Controller may subsequently grant a licence to take water to any applicant who wishes to participate in the development.
(2) The application for the licence must be in a form approved by the Controller.
A licence must not be granted under this section unless:
(a) the application is consistent with the development and the conditions of the developer's licence; and
(b) the water will be used only for the beneficial uses authorised in the developer's licence; and
(c) the applicant's entitlement to water will come by transfer from the developer's licence or another licence granted in respect of the same development.
(4) If a licence is to be granted under this section, the Controller must amend the licence from which the entitlement to water is being transferred to reduce its entitlement to water.
A decision about a licence under this section is:
not a water extraction licence decision; and
not a decision to which Part 6A and section 90 apply.
