Water Act 2000

This section applies if, before the commencement of this section—

an interim water allocation was attached to land; and

the registered owner of the land disposed of part of the land; and

no application was made under section 198(3) as in force before the commencement.

The interim water allocation is taken—

not to have been surrendered; and

to be held jointly by all owners of the land to which the interim water allocation related before the disposal.

However, within 60 business days after the commencement of this section, 1 or more of the owners of the land to which the interim water allocation relates may, with the consent of the other owners, apply for 1 or more interim water allocations to replace the jointly held interim water allocation.

Section 198(4) to (11) as in force after the commencement applies to the application to replace the interim water allocation.
