Water conservation orders

212: Matters to be considered by Environment Court

You could also call this:

"What the Environment Court thinks about when making decisions"

When the Environment Court looks at a water conservation order, you need to think about its purpose and other matters in section 199. The Court also thinks about the needs of industries and communities. The Court considers national and local policies, plans, and any proposed plans. The Court looks at reports and submissions, and any other matters it thinks are important.
