Permitted amalgamation of water allocations
69 Permitted amalgamation of water allocations
An amalgamation of 2 or more water allocations into a single water allocation is permitted if—
for each allocation being amalgamated, the ratio between the nominal volume of the allocation and each other attribute of the allocation is the same as the ratio between the nominal volume of each other allocation being amalgamated and each attribute of that other allocation; andExample—
If water allocation A has a nominal volume of 1 and a volumetric limit of 2, it may be amalgamated with water allocation B which has a nominal volume of 2 and a volumetric limit of 4, but not with water allocation C which has a nominal volume of 2 and a volumetric limit of 3.
the allocations being amalgamated have the same conditions; and
the amalgamation results in an allocation—
for which the ratio between the nominal volume of the allocation and each other attribute of the allocation is the same as the ratio between the nominal volume of each allocation being amalgamated and each attribute of that allocation; and
that has the same conditions as the allocations being amalgamated.
Note—
See section 143 of the Act for the attributes and conditions of water allocations.
