Water Plan (Logan Basin) 2007

for an authorisation that states a maximum rate—the rate stated on the authorisation; and

for an authorisation that does not state a maximum rate but for which a related development permit states a pump size mentioned in schedule 9, column 1—

if the authorisation holder satisfies the chief executive that the actual rate at which water can be taken is different from the rate stated in schedule 9, column 2, for the pump size—the rate decided by the chief executive having regard to—

the conditions under which water may be taken under the authorisation; and

the water taking capacity of the pump to which the development permit relates (the existing pump) under normal operating conditions; and

the irrigation or water distribution system related to the existing pump during the period of not more than 10 years immediately before the commencement of this plan; and

the efficiency of the water use mentioned in subsubparagraph (C); or

otherwise—the rate stated in schedule 9, column 2, for the pump size; and

for an authorisation that does not state a maximum rate but for which a related development permit states a pump size other than a pump size mentioned in schedule 9, column 1—the rate decided by the chief executive having regard to the matters mentioned in paragraph (b)(i)(A) to (D); and

for another authorisation—the rate decided by the chief executive having regard to—

the nature of the authorisation; and

an estimate of the rate, or measurement of the actual rate, at which water is taken under the authorisation.
