### sec.99BRAK Power to amend
This section applies if the holder of a water approval asks the distributor-retailer, in the way stated in its connections policy, to amend a water approval condition of the approval.
The distributor-retailer must decide to—
approve the request, with or without conditions; or
refuse the request.
Division 1 , other than section 99BRAI , applies to the decision, with any necessary changes, as if a reference in the division to an application were a reference to an application for the amendment.
The distributor-retailer must give the applicant notice (an amendment notice ) of the decision about the condition stating the following—
the day the decision was made;
whether the request is approved or refused;
if the request is refused, the reasons for refusal;
the applicant’s rights of internal review and appeal.
If the condition is amended under this section—
the condition as amended, and any conditions imposed under subsection (2) (a) , take effect when the amendment notice is given to the applicant; and
any conditions imposed under subsection (2) (a) are taken to be water approval conditions of the water approval; and
the distributor-retailer may give the applicant an infrastructure charges notice under part 7 , division 3 , subdivision 3 if the notice relates to the amended condition.
If an infrastructure charges notice is given under subsection (5) (c) for a water approval, the notice replaces any existing infrastructure charges notice in effect for the approval.
To avoid any doubt, it is declared that despite an amendment to a condition of a water approval—
the water approval continues in effect; and
a condition amended under this section is a water approval condition.
