Schedule 7 Savings and transitional provisions
(Clause 109)
Part 1 Provisions relating to the Water Management Amendment Act 2004
1   Transfer of certain access licences
A purchaser of land may apply to the Minister to record in the Access Register a general dealing under section 71M of the Act transferring an access licence to the purchaser, but only if:
(a)  the purchase included an entitlement that was, on the appointed day, replaced by the licence to be transferred, and
(b)  settlement of the purchase took place before the appointed day, and
(c)  as at the appointed day:
(i)  the purchaser’s interest in the land had not been recorded on the folio of the Register kept under the Real Property Act 1900 in relation to the land, or
(ii)  the conveyance effecting the transfer of the land had not been registered in the General Register of Deeds kept under the Conveyancing Act 1919,
as the case may require.
2   Deemed term transfers
For the purpose of enabling a term transfer referred to in clause 10 (3) of Schedule 10 to the Act to be recorded in the Access Register, the current occupier (within the meaning of clause 10 (1) of that Schedule) of the land concerned is to:
(a)  apply to the Director-General in the approved form for the recording of the transfer, and
(b)  provide the Director-General with evidence in the approved form of the current occupier’s occupation (including its proposed duration) of the land.
Note—
A term transfer of water entitlements conferred by an access licence is a general dealing within the meaning of the Act. Section 71A (1) (b) of the Act requires all general dealings to be recorded in the General Division of the Access Register kept under the Act. Section 71B (1) provides that any matter required to be recorded in that Division has no effect until it is so recorded and takes effect on being recorded.
3   Entitlements held by co-owners in a replacement access licence
