Acquisition of easement
28 Acquisition of easement
The Minister is authorised to acquire an easement (the
water disposal easement) for the purpose of the construction, operation and maintenance of the Scheme infrastructure as initially constructed or subsequently extended under this
Act.
The easement will be an easement in gross and does not depend on the existence of a dominant tenement.
The Minister may acquire the easement pursuant to a contract with the owners of the land concerned or pursuant to the Land
Acquisition Act 1969.
The Minister must, as soon as reasonably practicable after the easement is vested in the Minister, transfer the easement to the
Trust.
No duty is payable under the Stamp Duties
Act 1923 in respect of the transfer.
