### sec.1113 Granting interim water allocations to customers under interim resource operations licences
On the day the chief executive grants the corporatised entity interim resource operations licences under section 1111, the chief executive must grant each customer of the corporatised entity, mentioned in section 1111(2)(c), an interim water allocation in accordance with the interim resource operations licence for the allocation.
Before the chief executive grants an interim water allocation under subsection (1), the chief executive must consider, for the granting of the interim water allocation, the following matters in relation to the customers existing authority—
whether the authority stated that the customer was granted nominal allocation of the water;
whether the authority was in existence when the relevant irrigation area or project was established;
whether the supply of water under the authority had an end date;
whether the customer has, over the term of the authority, paid the full commercial value for the supply of water under the authority;
whether the customer has paid the full commercial value for all or part of the supply of the water under the authority and it is reasonable that a proportion of the authority should be granted to the customer as an interim water allocation.
On the day the grant is made under subsection (1), the chief executive must give the allocation to the grantee.
Each interim water allocation attaches to the land of the grantee unless the grantee is—
a local government; or
a water authority; or
an entity prescribed under a regulation.
Each interim water allocation takes effect from the day the grantee is given the allocation.
Subsection (7) applies if—
a person, immediately before the commencement of this division, was supplied water under an authority; and
the person owed an amount of money to the State under a financial arrangement under the authority for nominal allocation of the water; and
the person is granted an interim water allocation under this section for the water.
On the commencement—
the amount owed by the person, immediately before the commencement, is a debt due by the person to the corporatised entity; and
repayment of the amount to the corporatised entity is a condition of the interim water allocation.
(sec.1113-ssec.1) On the day the chief executive grants the corporatised entity interim resource operations licences under section 1111, the chief executive must grant each customer of the corporatised entity, mentioned in section 1111(2)(c), an interim water allocation in accordance with the interim resource operations licence for the allocation.
