11 Grant of operating licences

(1) The Governor may, on the recommendation of the portfolio Minister, grant one or more operating licences to Water NSW to authorise it, in accordance with this Act, to carry out the listed functions specified in the licence, and such other functions as may be conferred or imposed on it by the licence, in the areas and circumstances (if any) specified in the licence.

Note.

Section 7 (5) provides that nothing in this Act requires the authorisation of an operating licence for the exercise of a function that is conferred or imposed on Water NSW by or under a provision of this Act (other than section 7) or by or under any other Act or law.

(2) If Water NSW is granted more than one operating licence, each operating licence must specify the functions to which it relates and the areas or circumstances (or both) in which those functions may be exercised under the authority of that licence.

(3) Except to the extent to which this Act expressly provides, nothing in an operating licence limits the requirements imposed by or under any other Act or law with respect to the functions referred to in subsection (1).

(4) In this section, listed functions of Water NSW include functions under section 7 (2).
