123 Application to amend water licence to add or remove land
This section applies to an application to amend a water licence—
by adding land to the land to which the licence attaches; or
by removing land from the land to which the licence attaches, whether or not the application also seeks a reduction in the volume of water that may be taken under the licence.
The applicant must give notice of the application to any entity that has an interest in the land to which the licence attaches, the land to be added or the land to be removed.
The notice must include at least the following—
a description of the proposed changes to the land to which the licence attaches;
where copies of the application may be inspected.
The application to amend the licence must be accompanied by written advice from the applicant that the applicant has complied with subsection (2) for the application.
Within 10 business days after the notice is given, the applicant must give the chief executive a copy of the notice.
If the applicant fails, without reasonable excuse, to comply with subsection (5), the application lapses.
The chief executive may send a copy of the notice to any other entity the chief executive considers appropriate.
