Effect of transfer
475 Effect of transfer
If the water supply bore is transferred to the landowner for the bore under section 474—
ownership of all infrastructure and equipment forming part of the bore is transferred to the landowner; and
the bore, including all infrastructure and equipment forming part of the bore, is no longer a GHG well for the purposes of this Act; and
the landowner assumes responsibility for the bore, including all infrastructure and equipment forming part of the bore, for the purposes of any Act or law applying to the bore, infrastructure or equipment.
Subsection (1)(b) applies despite schedule 2, definition GHG well.
To remove any doubt, it is declared that the transfer of the water supply bore to the landowner does not of itself authorise the landowner to use the bore to take or interfere with water.
Notes—
1 See section 479 in relation to the grant of a water licence to the landowner to take water for stock purposes using the water supply bore.
2 See also the GAB Water Plan, part 4, division 3 in relation to taking or interfering with water in the plan area for the GAB Water Plan.
