sec.26 Taking water for stock or domestic purposes

A person may take— water from a groundwater unit or groundwater sub-area mentioned in subsection (3) for stock purposes; and water in the plan area for domestic purposes. However, water may be taken under subsection (1) only if— the water is taken using a water bore that has a water tight delivery system; and the taking will result in the cumulative drawdown for a groundwater-dependent ecosystem being less than 0.4m; and the taking will result in the drawdown at a location from which another person is authorised to take water under a water licence or particular authorisation being less than the maximum drawdown. A water management protocol must include ways for the chief executive to— estimate the cumulative drawdown, or otherwise be satisfied the cumulative drawdown, for a groundwater-dependent ecosystem as a result of a taking of water is less than 0.4m,; and estimate the drawdown at a location, or otherwise be satisfied the drawdown at a location, as a result of a taking of water is less than the maximum drawdown. See section 58 (2) . For subsection (1) (a) — the groundwater units are the following— Betts Creek beds Mulgildie North Hutton Normanton Winton Mackunda; and the groundwater sub-areas are the following— Cape Rolling Downs Crows Nest Marburg Crows Nest Woogaroo Eastern Downs Marburg Eastern Downs Precipice Eastern Downs Springbok Walloon Gatton Esk Road Marburg Gatton Esk Road Woogaroo Mulgildie North Precipice Mulgildie South Precipice Murphys Creek Marburg Murphys Creek Woogaroo Redbank Creek Woogaroo Southern Clarence Moreton Marburg Southern Clarence Moreton Walloon Southern Clarence Moreton Woogaroo.
