(TS) an off-river Scheme holding a Water Access Licence (when it is issued by DWE) totalling 32500 megalitres with 30 members and draws water from the regulated section of the Macquarie River. TS has approximately 90 kilometres of channel and was setup and paid for by its members to irrigate land away from the river. Its operating structure is an unincorporated association bound by a Deed of Constitution dated 24 September 1973. A committee is elected from the members and operates the TS on a day to day basis, setting fees and charges and keeping all records. Members on TS have varying size entitlements and TS was created around a socialised transmission loss as well as capital and operating expenses being charged on a pro-rata basis. TS members fully support and promote efficient use of water, and has allowed water trading between its members since it was established in 1973 except where physical constraints apply. TS also allows water to be traded outside to the riparian areas on a temporary annual basis however places certain constraints such as a loss factor and still collects there fees and charges. It is simple for TS to collect fees and charges because unless a member pays his fees and charges TS will not sign transfer forms. TS reject any suggestion that water can be transformed from a combined Water Access Licence (WAL) to individuals WAL’s unless they have paid a termination fee and relinquished an agreed loss component of their entitlement, otherwise, this would undermine the whole integrity of TS, leaving existing members with stranded assets. It should be noted that TS does not have a separate allocation for transmission losses like the operators in the south and therefore as members transform their entitlements, remaining members are left with the burden of increased fees and charges as well as higher transmission losses. This could mean their right to irrigate is removed if enough members transform their entitlement. TS does not agree with tagging after consultation with TS’s solicitor. With the separation of land from water and the privacy laws it appears there is no simple solution of recovering fees and the associated legal costs would be prohibitive. With several of these schemes of varying sizes on the Macquarie River allowing transformation would create a large economic loss to the region and leave large areas of good irrigation country exposed, creating further economic hardship to the towns of Narromine, Trangie and Warren. TS has spend hundreds of thousands of dollars over the passed 20 years identifying and improving efficiency and is continuing to pursue efficiencies through the Federal governments “Modernisation Project” with a study in progress. TS believe there was a total lack of understanding and consultation by Department of Water and Energy when amending the Water Act and TS believe there ability and on going management of the process of conversion and licence transfers should be the subject of an external audit. 89GIUVWfg„…šœЋЌЖЗИЎ Џ Г Д ѕъѕтквЫвРѕИАвЅš‹‡ƒuj_TIh5hЈЊCJaJh5hБG5CJaJh5hЊСCJaJh5hY†CJaJh5h“[ 5CJ\aJh“[ h:.=h~ЎhY†hY†CJ(aJ(hY†hY†CJaJh5h5CJaJh5CJ(aJ(h~ЎCJ(aJ(hY†h“[ CJ(aJ( h5h#+дh#+дCJ(aJ(h“[ CJ(aJ(hY†CJ(aJ(hY†h:.=CJ(aJ(hY†h~ЎCJ(aJ(9:;GHITUWgq„…šœžŸ ЋЌ­Ўїїїїїїїїїїяяїїїїїїїїїїїїъъъgd~Ў$a$gd#+д$a$gdY†~§ЎЏАБВГДЕЖЗИЎ Џ p q Ÿ   žшщij]_}њњњњњњњњѕѕѕњ№ыыыцсмм№зцццgdGeпgdˆrgdД …gdЄHTgd(gdAgdY†gd~ЎД Ж Я ф ц     " $ - F _ n q † ‰ “ Ÿ Ѓ ђ  ) b  Œ   Ÿ Е Ж Я ш ѕъпдЩОдГдЈЈд’д‡Ј|Г|ЈъЈдqдъfъf‡f‡[ъh5h #€CJaJh5hыWїCJaJh5hЈЊCJaJh5hфVCJaJh5hБG5CJaJh5hLэCJaJh5h(CJaJh5h+рCJaJh5hЕ(CJaJh5hE>УCJaJh5h [mCJaJh5h$ъCJaJh5h~ЎCJaJh5hIнCJaJh5h“[ CJaJ#ш ѕ ї    * 2   Ѕ Ф л м р ы / X žЁЗ{|†‡ ЁЇАЖИМПехчщn•–ѕъѕпдЩъЩОГОГОГОЈО’‡|‡|‡’‡qfq|f’‡f|Г|h5hGeпCJaJh5h5CJaJh5hACJaJh5hpCJaJh5h%‘CJaJh5hˆrCJaJh5hЄHTCJaJh5hY†CJaJh5hД …CJaJh5h(CJaJh5hЊСCJaJh5hЗ+CJaJh5hБG5CJaJh5hыWїCJaJ(9gjБH[\cЄЅЎЏЗёў'[\|}~—ЄЋЌХопюўѕъѕпдпЩдОГОдЈдОЈЈ’ЈО‡|qfq[|qPh5h1CJaJh5hЂщCJaJh5hE>УCJaJh5h#щCJaJh5hwpNCJaJh5hыWїCJaJh5hЕ(CJaJh5hЄHTCJaJh5hЮ=ТCJaJh5hБG5CJaJh5hЗ+CJaJh5h5CJaJh5hfCJaJh5hˆrCJaJh5hACJaJh5hGeпCJaJ}~ef}~њѕѕѕѓgdЄHTgdыWїў34IJKPQXde˜шP|}~ѕъпдЩпЩпОдОъѕГЈГЈ ЈГœh#щh1DCJaJh5h5CJaJh5h“[ CJaJh5hї8>CJaJh5h1CJaJh5hЂщCJaJh5hE>УCJaJh5h€7“CJaJh5h#щCJaJ,1hА‚.
