Provision of water services: operational matters - Development contributions - Transfer to new water organisation

130: Limitation on use of transferred contributions

"Water organisations can only use donated money for the purpose it was given"

Illustration for Local Government (Water Services) Act 2025

When a water organisation gets a development contribution or financial contribution under section 129(2) or (3)(b), you need to know it can only use the money for the reason it was collected. This means the water organisation cannot use the contribution for anything else. You can think of it like saving money for a specific purpose, and then only using it for that purpose.
