22.1 Groundwater allocation announcements
Supporting information
This line item represents the total groundwater allocation for other lumped class entitlement holders in the Sydney region for the 2011–12 year.
Entitlement (expressed as a share component under the Water Management Act) is specified on a water access licence expressed as a unit share for a defined licence category. The amount of water that a licence holder is allocated is a result of an allocation announcement and their share component.
An aquifer licence category in New South Wales may be issued for a wide range of purposes including irrigation, commercial, industry and environmental. It has not been possible to provide a breakdown of each component for the purposes of this account.
Reconciliation of this line item is shown in the following table.
