sec.66 Continued taking of water from particular water bores for stock or domestic purposes is authorised

This section applies if— the owner of a water bore is taking water for stock or domestic purposes using the bore; and the owner does not have a water licence to take the water; and the chief executive is satisfied the owner of the bore does not hold a water licence to take the water because the chief executive previously considered this water plan did not apply to the water being taken; and the owner would, but for subsection (2), be required under part 4, division 3 to have a water licence to take the water. The owner of the water bore may continue to use the bore to take the water for stock or domestic purposes. However, the authorisation under subsection (2) ends if the owner of the water bore is granted a water licence in relation to the bore. If the water bore is not controlled or becomes no longer controlled, the owner of the bore must give the chief executive a notice stating that fact.
