WATER ACT 2000 - SECT 199

(1) This section applies to an interim water allocation if part of the land, adjoining a watercourse, lake or spring, to which the allocation attaches—

(a) is taken under the Acquisition of Land Act 1967; or

(b) is disposed of by the registered owner of the land to a constructing authority for a purpose for which land may be taken under that Act.

(2) If the remaining part of the land continues to adjoin the watercourse, lake or spring from which water may be taken under the interim water allocation—

(a) section 198 does not apply to the interim water allocation; and

(b) the interim water allocation may be amended under section 192 so it attaches to the remaining part of the land.

(3) Subsection (4) applies if—

(a) the remaining part of the land no longer adjoins the watercourse, lake or spring; and

(b) the holder of the allocation does not, within 60 business days after the acquisition or disposal, satisfy the chief executive that the requirements of section 206(3)(b) have been met in relation to the allocation.

(4) The allocation is taken to be surrendered, and the chief executive must deal with the allocation under section 197(3).

(5) However, subsection (2)(a) and (b) apply if, within 60 business days after the acquisition or disposal, the holder satisfies the chief executive that the requirements of section 206(3)(b) have been met in relation to the allocation.
