The Minister, in granting a water-use licence, must consider the following matters—
the impact the proposed use of water may have on other persons or the environment (in particular waterlogging, salinity and nutrient impacts); and
whether or not the proposed use can meet standard water-use conditions that would apply to the licence, if granted; and
whether or not the proposed use is consistent with the water use objectives that would apply to the licence, if granted; and
if the application has been referred to the Catchment Management Authority, any comments received from that Authority, within 30 days of the application being referred to that Authority; and
any other matters the Minister considers relevant.
