Recovery rights
53 Recovery rights
Any charges or rates and any accrued interest will be a charge on the land in respect of which water is supplied or delivered, or is drained, in accordance with a scheme established by the regulations.
Subsection (1)—
applies subject to any Commonwealth water rules; and
does not apply to any charges (and associated interest) of a prescribed kind.
In addition, any charges or rates that are not paid in accordance with a notice under section 52, together with any interest, may be recovered by the trust as a debt from a person who is liable for the payment of the charges or rates.
Any action to recover any charges (and interest) as a debt does not prejudice any action to recover any charges or rates (and interest) as a charge on land, and vice versa, but any amount sought to be recovered under 1 right must be adjusted to take into account any amount actually recovered under the other right.
