This section applies for working out, for section 48(1)(b)(ii), the maximum storage capacity of works that may be used to store overland flow water.

The chief executive—

if a certified report for the works has been requested under section 54(4)(a)(iii)—must have regard to the certified report for the works given to the chief executive; and

may have regard to any other relevant information available to the chief executive.

However, the chief executive must disregard the storage capacity of—

bunded land; or

land used for irrigated or dryland agriculture; or

land surrounded by levees.

In this section—

bunded land means land on which a permanent or temporary levee is constructed to divert overland flow water away from land used for agricultural or horticultural production.
