Snowy Hydro Corporatisation Act 1997

The member of Parliament who gives notice in a House of Parliament of a resolution to approve the disposal or transfer of shares held by the State of Victoria in the Snowy Hydro Company must cause a copy of any relevant document to be laid before that House on the day on which that notice is given.

For the purposes of subsection (1) a relevant document is any agreement (including an agreement effected by exchange of letters) entered into by the State of Victoria with the State of New South Wales or any other party, in connection with, or that is otherwise relevant to, the proposed disposal or transfer of shares, being an agreement that deals with—

water flows (including environmental flows and flows to farmers or irrigators or any other person); or

the issue, review, variation, revocation, renewal or transfer of a licence under Part 5 of the Snowy Hydro Corporatisation Act 1997 of New South Wales; or

the constitution (for the time being) of the Snowy Hydro Company or the modification or repeal of that constitution or the adoption by that Company of a new constitution; or

the Snowy Water Inquiry Outcomes Implementation Deed entered into on behalf of the Commonwealth, New South Wales and Victoria on 3 June 2002 or the amendment or revocation of that Deed; or

the supply of information between the Snowy Hydro Company and the Murray-Darling Basin Authority established under the Water Act 2007 of the Commonwealth; or

the Agreement within the meaning of the Murray-Darling Basin Act 1993 or any proposed amendment of that Agreement.

Nothing in this section prevents the member of Parliament from causing a copy of any other document to be laid before the House together with any document required by this section to be so laid and the member may do so if he or she thinks fit.
