The intent of this policy is to ensure that the water resources allocated are used effectively by:
- reducing unused licensed water entitlements to a minimum
- ensuring that licensed water entitlements are fully utilised for the benefit of the licence holder, the community and the state
- reducing speculation in water allocations
- ensuring that decisions on managing, and in some circumstances recouping, unused licensed water entitlements are fair and equitable.
This policy was previously Statewide policy 11.
