sec.54 Granting water licence to take percentage of volume of saved water

The chief executive may grant the water licence to take, for any purpose, the following percentage (the granted percentage ) of the volume of saved water for the water bore because of the installation of the required bore works— 30%; or a greater percentage decided by the chief executive. In deciding whether to grant the water licence to take more than 30% of the volume of saved water for the water bore, the chief executive must be satisfied the greater percentage— provides an incentive to the licensee, or another person, to install the required bore works for the water bore; and promotes, and does not negatively affect, the plan outcomes. Subject to section 55 (2) , the volumetric limit to be stated for the water licence is the granted percentage of the volume of water saved for the water bore because of the installation of the required bore works. In granting the water licence, the chief executive must impose a condition on the licence that requires the licensee to install a measuring device to measure the volume of water taken from the water bore. Subsection (4) does not apply if the water licence, when granted, would be a metered entitlement.
