sec.47 Volumetric limit based on limit stated on existing authorisation
If a water plan states that the volumetric limit for a water allocation is to be based on the limit stated on the existing authorisation, the volumetric limit for the allocation is the volume of water that may be taken in a period of 12 months stated on the allocation. However, if the water plan states an alternative period, the volumetric limit for the water allocation is the volume of water allowed to be taken under the existing authorisation in the period stated in the water plan. (sec.47-ssec.1) If a water plan states that the volumetric limit for a water allocation is to be based on the limit stated on the existing authorisation, the volumetric limit for the allocation is the volume of water that may be taken in a period of 12 months stated on the allocation. (sec.47-ssec.2) However, if the water plan states an alternative period, the volumetric limit for the water allocation is the volume of water allowed to be taken under the existing authorisation in the period stated in the water plan.
