This policy’s intent is to:
- encourage relevant applicants under the Rights in Water and Irrigation Act 1914 to progress their applications in a reasonable timeframe
- minimise unnecessary delays in the water licensing process arising from an applicant’s failure to complete their applications
- reduce the volume of water held for applications that are not being progressed in a timely manner
- reduce the incidence of disingenuous applications restricting development.
This policy is formerly Operational policy no. 5.11.
