Procedures applying to qualifications
33AAC Procedures applying to qualifications
A qualification of rights to water under this Division must be done by—
giving notice of the qualification to the person affected; or
causing notice of it to be published in a newspaper generally circulating—
in the area to which the qualified rights to water relate; or
in the area served by the water system to which the qualified rights to water relate.
A notice given or published under subsection (1) may specify the criteria according to which the Minister determined the qualification.
For the purposes of a qualification under section 33AAA, the Minister may, by Order published in the Government Gazette—
determine the class of any rights to water; and
assign a priority to each of those classes—
and any qualification under that section of rights to water must be made in accordance with the priority of the class of right concerned.
Subject to subsection (3), any qualification under section 33AAA of rights to water must apply to all rights in the same proportion, unless the Minister is of the opinion that the circumstances are so extreme as to justify some other basis.
