pt 3, div 11, sdivs 1–3 (cll 29ZC–29ZL): Ins 2009 (363), Sch 1 [2].
29ZF   Replacement access licences arising from confirmed history of water usage
(1)  A landholder of eligible land in respect of which there is a confirmed history of water usage is taken to hold an access licence (a replacement access licence), and such an access licence is taken to have arisen, on the following terms and conditions:
(a)  terms identifying:
(i)  the category or subcategory of the licence, as determined by clause 29ZG, and
(ii)  the share component of the licence, as determined by clause 29ZH or 29ZI, as the case requires, and
(b)  the mandatory conditions referable to an access licence of the category or subcategory referred to in paragraph (a) (i).
(2)  A replacement access licence does not operate (and has no force or effect) until the Minister notifies the licence holder in writing of the terms and conditions of the licence referred to in subclause (1).
(3)  For the purpose of establishing the confirmed history of water usage for any eligible land, the Minister may require the landholder to furnish information relevant to that purpose.
(4)  The Minister is not required to issue a notice under subclause (2) if he or she is not satisfied that a confirmed history of water usage for eligible land has been established, whether because the landholder has failed to comply with a requirement under subclause (3) or otherwise.
(5)  This Subdivision does not operate:
(a)  to create a domestic and stock access licence (or an access licence of a subcategory of a domestic and stock access licence) in relation to land if:
(i)  the land has frontage to a tidal pool water source, or
(ii)  the share component of the licence, as determined by clause 29ZH, would be zero or negative, or
(b)  to create an unregulated river access licence (or an access licence of a subcategory of an unregulated river access licence) if the share component of the licence, as determined by clause 29ZI, would be zero or negative.
Note—
Because it is an access licence, a replacement access licence can be suspended, cancelled or compulsorily acquired under Division 6 of Part 2 of Chapter 3 of the Act, and discretionary conditions can be imposed under section 66. The licence holder will need to apply for any necessary water use approvals and water supply work approvals if he or she intends to take or use water under the authority of a replacement access licence.

A replacement access licence is to be:
(a)  to the extent to which the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates that tidal pool water has been used for domestic consumption or stock watering:
(i)  if the water has been used for both domestic consumption and stock watering, a domestic and stock access licence, or
(ii)  if the water has been used for domestic consumption only, a domestic and stock [domestic] access licence, or
(iii)  if the water has been used for stock watering only, a domestic and stock [stock] access licence, and
(b)  to the extent to which the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates that tidal pool water has been used otherwise than for domestic consumption or stock watering:
(i)  an unregulated river access licence, or
(ii)  an access licence of any subcategory of an unregulated river access licence.
pt 3, div 11, sdivs 1–3 (cll 29ZC–29ZL): Ins 2009 (363), Sch 1 [2].
29ZH   Share component for domestic and stock access licences
The share component for a replacement access licence that is a domestic and stock access licence is to be as follows:

(b)  in the case of a domestic and stock [domestic] access licence, 1 megalitre,
(c)  in the case of a domestic and stock [stock] access licence, 3.5 megalitres,
subtracting from each such volume the volume of any entitlement under the former 1912 Act that authorised the taking of tidal pool water for domestic consumption or stock watering (or both).
pt 3, div 11, sdivs 1–3 (cll 29ZC–29ZL): Ins 2009 (363), Sch 1 [2].
29ZI   Share component for unregulated river access licences
(1)  The share component for a replacement access licence that is an unregulated river access licence is to be the amount (in megalitres) equivalent to the maximum average volume of tidal pool water taken annually and used on the eligible land concerned, otherwise than for domestic consumption or stock watering, between 1999 and 2009 (inclusive).
(2)  The reference in subclause (1) to the maximum average volume of water is a reference to:
(a)  if water was taken during only one of the years between 1999 and 2009, the volume of water taken during that year, or
(b)  if water was taken during only 2 of the years between 1999 and 2009, one half of the sum of the volumes of water taken annually during those years, or
(c)  if water was taken during 3 or more of the years between 1999 and 2009, one third of the sum of the 3 largest volumes of water taken annually during those years,
subtracting from each such volume the volume of any entitlement under the former 1912 Act that authorised the taking of tidal pool water, other than an entitlement that authorised the taking of tidal pool water for domestic consumption or stock watering (or both).
(3)  To the extent to which the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates that tidal pool water has been used for purposes other than:
(a)  irrigation, or
(b)  domestic consumption, or
(c)  stock watering,
the volume of water taken in any year is to be calculated (in megalitres) on the basis of that history.
(4)  To the extent to which the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates that tidal pool water has been used for the purposes of irrigation, the volume of water taken in any year for those purposes is to be calculated (in megalitres):
(a)  in the case of water taken from the Wallis Creek Tidal Pool Water Source, the Paterson River Tidal Pool Water Source or the Hunter River Tidal Pool Water Source:
(i)  if the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates which crops specified in Table 1 were grown under irrigation on which parts of the land during that year, as the sum of the amounts obtained by multiplying the number of hectares of land on which each such crop was grown (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage) by the factor specified in that Table in relation to that crop, or
(ii)  in any other case, as the amount obtained by multiplying the number of hectares of the land on which crops specified in Table 1 were grown under irrigation during that year (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage for the land) by the smallest factor specified in that Table in relation to those crops, and
(b)  in the case of water taken from the Manning River Tidal Pool Water Source:
(i)  if the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates which crops specified in Table 2 were grown under irrigation on which parts of the land during that year, as the sum of the amounts obtained by multiplying the number of hectares of land on which each such crop was grown (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage) by the factor specified in that Table in relation to that crop, or
(ii)  in any other case, as the amount obtained by multiplying the number of hectares of the land on which crops specified in Table 2 were grown under irrigation during that year (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage for the land) by the smallest factor specified in that Table in relation to those crops.
(5)  Where more than one crop has been grown on the same land in the same year, the land may not be counted more than once for the purposes of subclause (4), but the higher or highest of the factors relevant to those crops is to be used.
(6)  For the purposes of this clause, a reference to a crop specified in Table 1 or 2 includes a reference to any other crop that the Minister determines to be an equivalent to that crop.

Example 1—
Suppose, in respect of any year, 30 hectares of a landholding were under irrigation, of which 10 hectares were used for growing lucerne, 10 hectares were used for annual pasture and 10 hectares were used for vegetables (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage for the land). The factors for these crops (using Table 1) are 6 (for lucerne), 3.5 (for annual pasture) and 8 (for vegetables). The volume of water calculated for that year for the land would therefore be 175 megalitres (that is, 10 times 6, plus 10 times 3.5, plus 10 times 8: see subclause (4) (a) (i)).
Example 2—
Suppose, in respect of any year, 30 hectares of a landholding were under irrigation, of which some were used for growing lucerne, some were used for annual pasture and some were used for vegetables (the specific areas not indicated by the confirmed history of water usage for the land). The factors for these crops (using Table 1) are 6 (for lucerne), 3.5 (for annual pasture) and 8 (for vegetables). The volume of water calculated for that year for the land would therefore be 105 megalitres (that is, 30 times 3.5: see subclause (4) (a) (ii)).
Example 3—
Suppose, in respect of any year, 30 hectares of a landholding were under irrigation, of which all 30 were used for growing summer cereals (in summer) and all 30 were used for growing winter cereals (in winter). The factors for these crops (using Table 1) are 4 (for summer cereals) and 3 (for winter cereals). The volume of water calculated for that year for the land would therefore be 120 megalitres (that is, 30 times 4: see subclauses (4) (a) (i) and (5)).

29ZV   Share component for unregulated river access licences
(1)  The share component for a replacement access licence that is an unregulated river access licence is to be the amount (in megalitres) equivalent to the maximum average volume of tidal pool water taken annually and used on the eligible land concerned, otherwise than for domestic consumption or stock watering, between 2000 and 2010 (inclusive).
(2)  The reference in subclause (1) to the maximum average volume of water is a reference to:
(a)  if water was taken during only one of the years between 2000 and 2010, the volume of water taken during that year, or
(b)  if water was taken during only 2 of the years between 2000 and 2010, one half of the sum of the volumes of water taken annually during those years, or
(c)  if water was taken during 3 or more of the years between 2000 and 2010, one third of the sum of the 3 largest volumes of water taken annually during those years,
subtracting from each such volume the volume of any entitlement under the former 1912 Act that authorised the taking of tidal pool water, other than an entitlement that authorised the taking of tidal pool water for domestic consumption or stock watering (or both).
(3)  To the extent to which the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates that tidal pool water has been used for purposes other than:
(a)  irrigation, or
(b)  domestic consumption, or
(c)  stock watering,
the volume of water taken in any year is to be calculated (in megalitres) on the basis of that history.
(4)  To the extent to which the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates that tidal pool water has been used for the purposes of irrigation, the volume of water taken in any year for those purposes is to be calculated (in megalitres):
(a)  in the case of water taken from the Tweed Estuary Water Source, the Wyrallah Area Water Source or the Coraki Area Water Source:
(i)  if the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates which crops specified in Table 1 to this clause were grown under irrigation on which parts of the land during that year, as the sum of the amounts obtained by multiplying the number of hectares of land on which each such crop was grown (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage) by the factor specified in that Table in relation to that crop, or
(ii)  in any other case, as the amount obtained by multiplying the number of hectares of the land on which crops specified in Table 1 to this clause were grown under irrigation during that year (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage for the land) by the smallest factor specified in that Table in relation to those crops, and
(b)  in the case of water taken from the Merimbula Lake Tributaries Water Source, the Pambula Lake Tributaries Water Source, the Towamba Estuary Tributaries Water Source, the Bermagui River Water Source or the Wapengo Lagoon Tributaries Water Source:
(i)  if the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates which crops specified in Table 2 were grown under irrigation on which parts of the land during that year, as the sum of the amounts obtained by multiplying the number of hectares of land on which each such crop was grown (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage) by the factor specified in that Table in relation to that crop, or
(ii)  in any other case, as the amount obtained by multiplying the number of hectares of the land on which crops specified in Table 2 were grown under irrigation during that year (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage for the land) by the smallest factor specified in that Table in relation to those crops.
(5)  Where more than one crop has been grown on the same land in the same year, the land may not be counted more than once for the purposes of subclause (4), but the higher or highest of the factors relevant to those crops is to be used.
(6)  For the purposes of this clause, a reference to a crop specified in Table 1 or 2 to this clause includes a reference to any other crop that the Minister determines to be an equivalent to that crop.

Example 1—
Suppose, in respect of any year, 30 hectares of a landholding were under irrigation, of which 10 hectares were used for growing lucerne, 10 hectares were used for annual pasture and 10 hectares were used for vegetables (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage for the land). The factors for these crops (using Table 1) are 4.5 (for lucerne), 3 (for annual pasture) and 6 (for vegetables). The volume of water calculated for that year for the land would therefore be 135 megalitres (that is, 10 times 4.5, plus 10 times 3, plus 10 times 6: see subclause (4) (a) (i)).
Example 2—
Suppose, in respect of any year, 30 hectares of a landholding were under irrigation, of which some were used for growing lucerne, some were used for annual pasture and some were used for vegetables (the specific areas not indicated by the confirmed history of water usage for the land). The factors for these crops (using Table 1) are 4.5 (for lucerne), 3 (for annual pasture) and 6 (for vegetables). The volume of water calculated for that year for the land would therefore be 90 megalitres (that is, 30 times 3: see subclause (4) (a) (ii)).
Example 3—
Suppose, in respect of any year, 30 hectares of a landholding were under irrigation, of which all 30 were used for growing summer cereals (in summer) and all 30 were used for growing winter cereals (in winter). The factors for these crops (using Table 1) are 2 (for summer cereals) and 2.5 (for winter cereals). The volume of water calculated for that year for the land would therefore be 75 megalitres (that is, 30 times 2.5: see subclauses (4) (a) (i) and (5)).

Clause 7 of Schedule 10 to the Act applies to and in respect of a replacement access licence in the same way as it applies to and in respect of an access licence arising under that Schedule.
Note—
This clause enables the share component of an access licence under this Subdivision to be converted from a specified quantity of water to any other manner (such as a unit share) in which a share component may be expressed under section 56 of the Act.

29ZZD   Replacement access licences arising from confirmed history of water usage
(1)  A landholder of eligible land in respect of which there is a confirmed history of water usage is taken to hold an access licence (a replacement access licence), and such an access licence is taken to have arisen, on the following terms and conditions:
(a)  terms identifying:
(i)  the category or subcategory of the licence, as determined by clause 29ZZE, and
(ii)  the share component of the licence, as determined by clause 29ZZF or 29ZZG, as the case requires, and
(b)  the mandatory conditions referable to an access licence of the category or subcategory referred to in paragraph (a) (i).
(2)  A replacement access licence does not operate (and has no force or effect) until the Minister notifies the licence holder in writing of the terms and conditions of the licence referred to in subclause (1).
(3)  For the purpose of establishing the confirmed history of water usage for any eligible land, the Minister may require the landholder to furnish information relevant to that purpose.
(4)  The Minister is not required to issue a notice under subclause (2) if he or she is not satisfied that a confirmed history of water usage for eligible land has been established, whether because the landholder has failed to comply with a requirement under subclause (3) or otherwise.
(5)  This Subdivision does not operate:
(a)  to create a domestic and stock access licence (or an access licence of a subcategory of a domestic and stock access licence) in relation to land if:
(i)  the land has frontage to a tidal pool water source, or
(ii)  the share component of the licence, as determined by clause 29ZZF, would be zero or negative, or
(b)  to create an unregulated river access licence (or an access licence of a subcategory of an unregulated river access licence) if the share component of the licence, as determined by clause 29ZZG, would be zero or negative.
Note—
Because it is an access licence, a replacement access licence can be suspended, cancelled or compulsorily acquired under Division 6 of Part 2 of Chapter 3 of the Act, and discretionary conditions can be imposed under section 66. The licence holder will need to apply for any necessary water use approvals and water supply work approvals if he or she intends to take or use water under the authority of a replacement access licence.

29ZZE   Categories of replacement access licence
A replacement access licence is to be:
(a)  to the extent to which the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates that tidal pool water has been used for domestic consumption or stock watering:
(i)  if the water has been used for both domestic consumption and stock watering, a domestic and stock access licence, or
(ii)  if the water has been used for domestic consumption only, a domestic and stock [domestic] access licence, or
(iii)  if the water has been used for stock watering only, a domestic and stock [stock] access licence, and
(b)  to the extent to which the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates that tidal pool water has been used otherwise than for domestic consumption or stock watering:
(i)  an unregulated river access licence, or
(ii)  an access licence of any subcategory of an unregulated river access licence.

29ZZF   Share component for domestic and stock access licences
The share component for a replacement access licence that is a domestic and stock access licence is to be as follows:
(a)  except as provided by paragraphs (b) and (c), 5.5 megalitres,
(b)  in the case of a domestic and stock [domestic] access licence, 1 megalitre,
(c)  in the case of a domestic and stock [stock] access licence, 4.5 megalitres,
subtracting from each such volume the volume of any entitlement under the former 1912 Act that authorised the taking of tidal pool water for domestic consumption or stock watering (or both).
pt 3, div 14, sdivs 1–3 (cll 29ZZA–29ZZL): Ins 2011 (154), Sch 1 [2].
29ZZG   Share component for unregulated river access licences
(1)  The share component for a replacement access licence that is an unregulated river access licence is to be the amount (in megalitres) equivalent to the maximum average volume of tidal pool water taken annually and used on the eligible land concerned, otherwise than for domestic consumption or stock watering, between 2001 and 2011 (inclusive).
(2)  The reference in subclause (1) to the maximum average volume of water is a reference to:
(a)  if water was taken during only one of the years between 2001 and 2011, the volume of water taken during that year, or
(b)  if water was taken during only 2 of the years between 2001 and 2011, one half of the sum of the volumes of water taken annually during those years, or
(c)  if water was taken during 3 or more of the years between 2001 and 2011, one third of the sum of the 3 largest volumes of water taken annually during those years,
subtracting from each such volume the volume of any entitlement under the former 1912 Act that authorised the taking of tidal pool water, other than an entitlement that authorised the taking of tidal pool water for domestic consumption or stock watering (or both).
(3)  To the extent to which the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates that tidal pool water has been used for purposes other than:
(a)  irrigation, or
(b)  domestic consumption, or
(c)  stock watering,
the volume of water taken in any year is to be calculated (in megalitres) on the basis of that history.
(4)  To the extent to which the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates that tidal pool water has been used for the purposes of irrigation, the volume of water taken in any year for those purposes is to be calculated (in megalitres):
(a)  if the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates which crops specified in the Table to this clause were grown under irrigation on which parts of the land during that year, as the sum of the amounts obtained by multiplying the number of hectares of land on which each such crop was grown (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage) by the factor specified in that Table in relation to that crop, or
(b)  in any other case, as the amount obtained by multiplying the number of hectares of the land on which crops specified in the Table to this clause were grown under irrigation during that year (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage for the land) by the smallest factor specified in that Table in relation to those crops.
(5)  Where more than one crop has been grown on the same land in the same year, the land may not be counted more than once for the purposes of subclause (4), but the higher or highest of the factors relevant to those crops is to be used.
(6)  For the purposes of this clause, a reference to a crop specified in the Table to this clause includes a reference to any other crop that the Minister determines to be an equivalent to that crop.

Example 1—
Suppose, in respect of any year, 30 hectares of a landholding were under irrigation, of which 10 hectares were used for growing lucerne, 10 hectares were used for annual pasture and 10 hectares were used for vegetables (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage for the land). The factors for these crops (using the Table above) are 5 (for lucerne), 1.5 (for annual pasture) and 4.5 (for vegetables). The volume of water calculated for that year for the land would therefore be 110 megalitres (that is, 10 times 5, plus 10 times 1.5, plus 10 times 4.5: see subclause (4) (a)).
Example 2—
Suppose, in respect of any year, 30 hectares of a landholding were under irrigation, of which some were used for growing lucerne, some were used for annual pasture and some were used for vegetables (the specific areas not indicated by the confirmed history of water usage for the land). The factors for these crops (using the Table above) are 5 (for lucerne), 1.5 (for annual pasture) and 4.5 (for vegetables). The volume of water calculated for that year for the land would therefore be 45 megalitres (that is, 30 times 1.5: see subclause (4) (b)).
Example 3—
Suppose, in respect of any year, 30 hectares of a landholding were under irrigation, of which all 30 were used for growing summer cereals (in summer) and all 30 were used for growing winter cereals (in winter). The factors for these crops (using the Table above) are 2.5 (for summer cereals) and 1 (for winter cereals). The volume of water calculated for that year for the land would therefore be 75 megalitres (that is, 30 times 2.5: see subclauses (4) (a) and (5)).

29ZZS   Share component for unregulated river access licences
(1)  The share component for a replacement access licence that is an unregulated river access licence is to be the amount (in megalitres) equivalent to the maximum average volume of tidal pool water taken annually and used on the eligible land concerned, otherwise than for domestic consumption or stock watering, between 2001 and 2011 (inclusive).
(2)  The reference in subclause (1) to the maximum average volume of water is a reference to:
(a)  if water was taken during only one of the years between 2001 and 2011, the volume of water taken during that year, or
(b)  if water was taken during only 2 of the years between 2001 and 2011, one half of the sum of the volumes of water taken annually during those years, or
(c)  if water was taken during 3 or more of the years between 2001 and 2011, one third of the sum of the 3 largest volumes of water taken annually during those years,
subtracting from each such volume the volume of any entitlement under the former 1912 Act that authorised the taking of tidal pool water, other than an entitlement that authorised the taking of tidal pool water for domestic consumption or stock watering (or both).
(3)  To the extent to which the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates that tidal pool water has been used for purposes other than:
(a)  irrigation, or
(b)  domestic consumption, or
(c)  stock watering,
the volume of water taken in any year is to be calculated (in megalitres) on the basis of that history.
(4)  To the extent to which the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates that tidal pool water has been used for the purposes of irrigation, the volume of water taken in any year for those purposes is to be calculated (in megalitres):
(a)  in the case of water taken from a tidal pool water source in the Shoalhaven River Source or the Illawarra Rivers Water Source:
(i)  if the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates which crops specified in Table 1 to this clause were grown under irrigation on which parts of the land during that year, as the sum of the amounts obtained by multiplying the number of hectares of land on which each such crop was grown (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage) by the factor specified in that Table in relation to that crop, or
(ii)  in any other case, as the amount obtained by multiplying the number of hectares of the land on which crops specified in Table 1 to this clause were grown under irrigation during that year (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage for the land) by the smallest factor specified in that Table in relation to those crops, and
(b)  in the case of water taken from a tidal pool water source in the Hawkesbury and Lower Nepean Rivers Water Source, the Southern Sydney Rivers Water Source or the Northern Sydney Rivers Water Source:
(i)  if the confirmed history of water usage for the land indicates which crops specified in Table 2 to this clause were grown under irrigation on which parts of the land during that year, as the sum of the amounts obtained by multiplying the number of hectares of land on which each such crop was grown (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage) by the factor specified in that Table in relation to that crop, or
(ii)  in any other case, as the amount obtained by multiplying the number of hectares of the land on which crops specified in Table 2 to this clause were grown under irrigation during that year (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage for the land) by the smallest factor specified in that Table in relation to those crops.
(5)  Where more than one crop has been grown on the same land in the same year, the land may not be counted more than once for the purposes of subclause (4), but the higher or highest of the factors relevant to those crops is to be used.
(6)  For the purposes of this clause, a reference to a crop specified in Table 1 or Table 2 to this clause includes a reference to any other crop that the Minister determines to be an equivalent to that crop.

Example 1—
Suppose, in respect of any year, 30 hectares of a landholding were under irrigation, of which 10 hectares were used for growing lucerne, 10 hectares were used for annual pasture and 10 hectares were used for vegetables (as indicated by the confirmed history of water usage for the land). The factors for these crops (using Table 1) are 5 (for lucerne), 1.5 (for annual pasture) and 4.5 (for vegetables). The volume of water calculated for that year for the land would therefore be 110 megalitres (that is, 10 times 5, plus 10 times 1.5, plus 10 times 4.5: see subclause (4) (a)).
Example 2—
Suppose, in respect of any year, 30 hectares of a landholding were under irrigation, of which some were used for growing lucerne, some were used for annual pasture and some were used for vegetables (the specific areas not indicated by the confirmed history of water usage for the land). The factors for these crops (using Table 1) are 5 (for lucerne), 1.5 (for annual pasture) and 4.5 (for vegetables). The volume of water calculated for that year for the land would therefore be 45 megalitres (that is, 30 times 1.5: see subclause (4) (b)).
Example 3—
Suppose, in respect of any year, 30 hectares of a landholding were under irrigation, of which all 30 were used for growing summer cereals (in summer) and all 30 were used for growing winter cereals (in winter). The factors for these crops (using Table 1) are 2.5 (for summer cereals) and 1 (for winter cereals). The volume of water calculated for that year for the land would therefore be 75 megalitres (that is, 30 times 2.5: see subclauses (4) (a) and (5)).

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.

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.

(1)  Unless it is sooner cancelled, a replacement approval has effect for:
(a)  except as provided by paragraph (b):

(ii)  for the balance of the period for which its former entitlement would (but for Schedule 10 to the Act) have remained in force,
whichever is the longer, or
