sec.77 Volumetric limit
The volumetric limit for the converted water allocation must be based on— for a Stanthorpe allocation, other than a converted water allocation to take water to which this plan applies in Lower Severn River zone 2— if the existing authorisation stated a limit for taking water—the limit; or if the existing authorisation stated an area that was able to be irrigated—the area; or Lower Severn River zone 2 is a water management area zone. otherwise—an assessment of water taken under the existing authorisation and the efficiency of the use of the water. See also the Water Regulation 2016 , sections 47 to 49 . However, if subsection (1) (a) (i) and (ii) both apply in relation to the converted water allocation, the basis for calculating the volumetric limit is the basis mentioned in subsection (1) (a) (i) or (ii) that results in the lesser volumetric limit. For the Water Regulation 2016 , section 48 , the factor is 6ML a hectare. For the Water Regulation 2016 , section 49 (f) , the other criterion is the share of water determined, by the IQQM computer program simulation, to be available for Upper Weir allocations. (sec.77-ssec.1) The volumetric limit for the converted water allocation must be based on— for a Stanthorpe allocation, other than a converted water allocation to take water to which this plan applies in Lower Severn River zone 2— if the existing authorisation stated a limit for taking water—the limit; or if the existing authorisation stated an area that was able to be irrigated—the area; or Lower Severn River zone 2 is a water management area zone. otherwise—an assessment of water taken under the existing authorisation and the efficiency of the use of the water. See also the Water Regulation 2016 , sections 47 to 49 . (sec.77-ssec.2) However, if subsection (1) (a) (i) and (ii) both apply in relation to the converted water allocation, the basis for calculating the volumetric limit is the basis mentioned in subsection (1) (a) (i) or (ii) that results in the lesser volumetric limit. (sec.77-ssec.3) For the Water Regulation 2016 , section 48 , the factor is 6ML a hectare. (sec.77-ssec.4) For the Water Regulation 2016 , section 49 (f) , the other criterion is the share of water determined, by the IQQM computer program simulation, to be available for Upper Weir allocations.
- (a) for a Stanthorpe allocation, other than a converted water allocation to take water to which this plan applies in Lower Severn River zone 2— (i) if the existing authorisation stated a limit for taking water—the limit; or (ii) if the existing authorisation stated an area that was able to be irrigated—the area; or Note— Lower Severn River zone 2 is a water management area zone.
- (i) if the existing authorisation stated a limit for taking water—the limit; or
- (ii) if the existing authorisation stated an area that was able to be irrigated—the area; or
