Reviewing submissions about draft water entitlement notice
74 Reviewing submissions about draft water entitlement notice
This section applies if there is a properly made submission from an affected person about a draft water entitlement notice.
After the last day for the making of submissions about the draft water entitlement notice, the chief executive must—
collate information about all properly made submissions made about the draft; and
give the collated information to a referral panel.
The panel must review the draft water entitlement notice and the submissions and make recommendations to the chief executive within 40 business days after receiving the collated information.
However, subsection (2) does not apply for a submission if the chief executive is satisfied that—
the submission requests a change to the draft water entitlement notice that would be inconsistent with the water plan that the draft is to implement; or
the draft should be amended in accordance with the submission.
