Water Act 2000

Within 30 business days after this division commences, the chief executive must grant and give to the corporatised entity an interim resource operations licence for Julius Dam and for each irrigation or project area under the Water Resources (Rates and Charges) Regulation 1992 the corporatised entity operated both immediately before and immediately after the entity was corporatised.

Each licence must state, for the licence—

all the elements mentioned in section 177; and

the interim water allocations to be granted to the corporatised entity under section 1112 for water losses, unallocated water and water for the supply of customers who are not to be granted or taken to hold an interim water allocation under section 1113 or 1114; and

details of existing customers of the corporatised entity who are to be granted interim water allocations other than those customers who hold interim water allocations taken to be granted under section 1114; and

details of existing customers of the corporatised entity who are not to be granted or taken to hold interim water allocations; and

details of other existing water supply responsibilities.

Within 30 business days after the granting of the interim resource operations licence, the chief executive must give the customers mentioned in subsection (2)(c) and (d) an information notice about the granting of the licence.

Sections 178 to 186 apply to each licence as if the licence were a licence granted under chapter 2, part 5.

Each licence takes effect from the day the holder of the licence is given the licence.

Although a customer mentioned in subsection (2)(d) does not get an interim water allocation, the customer is entitled to the continued supply of water under the authority.
