Basin management area or water source or part of a water source that is part
of the Basin water resources.
(2) Before suspending the operation of a Basin
management plan in relation to a Basin management area or part of the Basin
water resources, the Minister must obtain the concurrence of the Minister for
the Environment.
(3) As soon as practicable after an order under this section
is published in the Gazette, a copy of the order must be published-- (a) in
the authorised manner, or
(b) on a publicly accessible website that, in the
opinion of the Minister, is appropriate for the publication of orders of that
kind.
(4) An order under this section expires (unless sooner revoked) at the
end of 30 June following the date on which it is made or, if made on or after
1 April in any year, at the end of 30 June of the following year.
(5) An
order may not be made under this section in relation to a Basin management
plan that has, at any time during the previous 12 months, been subject to an
order under this section or section 49A unless the Minister is satisfied, for
reasons specified in the order, that there is no need for the plan to be
amended under Division 9.
(6) Except as provided by subsection (5), this
section does not prevent a Basin management area or part of the Basin water
resources from being the subject of an order under section 49A.
