The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation is seeking public comment on the draft Guideline: Spring exemptions under Part III section 5(1)(a) of the Rights in Water and Irrigation Act 1914.
This guideline is part of the department’s policy framework. Guidance is needed as the Act does not define the process for determining whether the exemption in section 5(1)(a) applies to a spring.
The guideline outlines the relevant considerations which need to be taken into account by landowners and occupiers of land when determining if the circumstances on their property meet the requirements of section 5(1)(a).
