Working out preliminary irrigable area
84L Working out preliminary irrigable area
This section applies in relation to the land attached to a water licence on the commencement.
The preliminary irrigable area for the water licence is the area, in hectares, that is the sum of each of the following parts of the land—
if the licence allows the whole of a parcel of land to be irrigated using water taken under the licence—the part of the land that the chief executive decides, having considered geological mapping and spatial imagery of the land, is—
land with alluvium; or
land without alluvium that has been irrigated, during the relevant period, using water taken under the licence from the land;
if the licence allows only a part of a parcel of land to be irrigated using water taken under the licence—the part of the land.
However, the preliminary irrigable area for the water licence does not include the area of any part of the land attached to the water licence that has been included in the preliminary irrigable area of another water licence.
