9A.1 The Authority must endeavour to work cooperatively with Gippsland and
Southern Rural Water Corporation and East Gippsland Catchment Management
Authority to develop operating rules for taking water from the waterway under
this Order.
9A.2 The objectives for the operating rules in sub-clause 9A.1 are to:
(a) maintain reliability of supply to the Authority’s customers; and
(b) minimise any adverse impact of the Authority’s taking water under this
Order on the environment and licensed diverters, in particular during
the period from November to June (inclusive) each year; and
(c) take advantage of opportunities to improve environmental flows in the
waterway.
[Noting that Gippsland and Southern Rural Water Corporation’s local management
rules for licensed diverters play a role in determining passing flows in the waterway.]
9A.3 The operating rules in sub-clause 9A.1 may be updated from time to time
with the agreement of the Authority, Gippsland and Southern Rural Water
Corporation and the East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority to take
account of changes to:
(a) the Authority’s use of water; or
(b) the environmental flow requirements for the waterway; or
(c) licensed diverters’ use of water; or
(d) local management rules for licensed diverters.’
