RegulationsSL 2026/8327 May 2026
Principal Act
These regulations amend the Rights in Water and Irrigation Regulations 2000 to update references to petroleum legislation, include geothermal energy and greenhouse gas storage activities, and provide a transitional provision for using the old application form for a limited time.
Holders of petroleum, geothermal, and GHG titles are affected by the updated definitions and application processes. The regulations ensure consistency with changes in the overarching petroleum legislation. Applicants have a 6-month window to use the old application form unless the water use is for mining purposes related to GHG titles or pipelines.
