Each water corporation, in performing its functions, exercising its powers and carrying out its duties must have regard to the following principles—

the need to encourage and facilitate community involvement in the making and implementation of arrangements relating to the use, conservation and management of water resources; and
S. 93(c) substituted by No. 23/2019 s. 50.
the need to integrate both long term and short term—
economic, environmental and equitable considerations; and
Aboriginal cultural considerations; and
social and recreational considerations; and
the need for the conservation of biological diversity and ecological integrity to be a fundamental consideration; and
if there are threats of serious or irreversible environmental damage, lack of full scientific certainty as to measures to address the threat should not be used as a reason for postponing such measures.
