### sec.303 Notice of regulator’s intention to make declaration
Before declaring a recycled water scheme to be a critical recycled water scheme, the regulator must—
give notice of the regulator’s intention to make the declaration to—
if the scheme is a single-entity recycled water scheme—the recycled water provider for the scheme; or
if the scheme is a multiple-entity recycled water scheme—each recycled water provider and other entity the regulator intends to declare to be part of the scheme; and
consider all properly made submissions given to the regulator under subsection (3) .
Subsection (1) does not apply to the declaration of a recycled water scheme if, under section 301 (2) , the regulator must declare the scheme to be a critical recycled water scheme.
The notice must—
describe the recycled water scheme; and
describe the infrastructure proposed to be part of the scheme; and
state the reasons that the regulator intends to make the declaration; and
for a notice about a multiple-entity recycled water scheme—
state each recycled water provider and other entity proposed to be declared to be part of the scheme; and
if known, state the proposed scheme manager for the scheme; and
state the entity to whom the notice is given may, within 30 days after receiving the notice, give the regulator a written submission about the proposed declaration.
If the notice is about a multiple-entity recycled water scheme and the scheme manager for the scheme is not known when the notice is given, the notice may also state the recycled water provider or other entity may give the regulator advice about who the provider or entity considers should be the scheme manager for the scheme.
An entity that is not a recycled water provider may be stated to be part of a multiple-entity recycled water scheme only if the entity owns infrastructure for the supply of recycled water.
(sec.303-ssec.1) Before declaring a recycled water scheme to be a critical recycled water scheme, the regulator must— give notice of the regulator’s intention to make the declaration to— if the scheme is a single-entity recycled water scheme—the recycled water provider for the scheme; or if the scheme is a multiple-entity recycled water scheme—each recycled water provider and other entity the regulator intends to declare to be part of the scheme; and consider all properly made submissions given to the regulator under subsection (3) .
(sec.303-ssec.2) Subsection (1) does not apply to the declaration of a recycled water scheme if, under section 301 (2) , the regulator must declare the scheme to be a critical recycled water scheme.
(sec.303-ssec.3) The notice must— describe the recycled water scheme; and describe the infrastructure proposed to be part of the scheme; and state the reasons that the regulator intends to make the declaration; and for a notice about a multiple-entity recycled water scheme— state each recycled water provider and other entity proposed to be declared to be part of the scheme; and if known, state the proposed scheme manager for the scheme; and state the entity to whom the notice is given may, within 30 days after receiving the notice, give the regulator a written submission about the proposed declaration.
(sec.303-ssec.4) If the notice is about a multiple-entity recycled water scheme and the scheme manager for the scheme is not known when the notice is given, the notice may also state the recycled water provider or other entity may give the regulator advice about who the provider or entity considers should be the scheme manager for the scheme.
