Granting water licences for authorities under s 12
13 Granting water licences for authorities under s 12
This section applies if—
an owner of land is authorised under section 12 to continue taking overland flow water using works; and
the chief executive is satisfied there has been, or may be, an increase in the average annual volume of overland flow water taken using the works above the average annual volume that could have been taken under the operating arrangements in place immediately before the commencement of this plan.
The chief executive must—
under section 212 of the Act, grant a water licence to replace the authority under section 12; and
impose a condition on the licence to ensure the average annual volume of overland flow water that may be taken using the works is not more than the average annual volume that could have been taken under the operating arrangements in place immediately before the commencement of this plan.
