Water Act 2000

The chief executive may amend an approved underground water impact report or final report if—

the amendment—

is only to—

correct a minor error; or

update a resource tenure holder’s details; or

make another change that is not a change of substance; and

will not adversely affect a resource tenure holder or a bore owner of a water bore within an immediately affected area or a long-term affected area; or

for a report relating to a cumulative management area—the office and any CMA tenure holder other than a closing CMA tenure holder affected by the amendment agree to the amendment; or

for a report for a closing CMA tenure or other resource tenure—the holder of the tenure agrees to the amendment.

If the chief executive amends a report under subsection (1), the chief executive must publish the amended report on a Queensland Government website.

The chief executive must give notice of the amendment to the responsible entity for the report.

Any amendment takes effect on the day stated in the notice.

The chief executive may include in the notice a requirement that the responsible entity—

publish a notice of the amendment in a stated period and in a stated way; and

give a notice of the amendment to any bore owners the chief executive considers may be affected by the amendment.

Also, if the report relates to a cumulative management area, the office must give a notice of the amendment to each holder of a CMA tenure within the area affected by the amendment, other than the holder of a closing CMA tenure.
