The underground water rights disciplined are for a resource project that includes a resource tenure that is a mineral development license, mining lease or petroleum lease; or a resource activity for which the relevant tenure is a mineral development license, mining lease or petroleum lease. A new section 126A establishes distinct requirements for site-specific applications involving the exercise of underground water rights. The application must state any proposed exercise of underground water rights during the period in which resource activities will be carried out under the relevant tenure; the areas in which underground water rights are proposed to be exercised; for each aquifer affected by the exercise of underground water rights a description of the aquifer, an analysis of the movement of underground water, a description of the area and the predicted quantities of water to be taken or interfered with; the environmental values that will, or may, be affected; any impacts on the quality of groundwater; strategies for avoiding, mitigating or managing the predicted impacts. A new section 227AA is also added concerning requirements for amendment applications involving changes to the exercise of underground water rights.
