243  Transitional water resource plans taken to have been accredited
 (1) A transitional water resource plan for a water resource plan area, as in force immediately before Part 2 commences, is taken to have been accredited by the Minister under Subdivision D of Division 2 of Part 2 on the day on which Part 2 commences.
Note: This subsection has the effect of continuing the operation of State water use and management plans that were made before 25 January 2007. They are continued in operation until their expiry date or, if they do not expire, their next major review.
 (2) The regulations may provide that minor, or non‑substantive, amendments of a transitional water resource plan of a kind specified in the regulations are also taken to have been accredited by the Minister under Subdivision D of Division 2 of Part 2 on the date provided for in, or determined in accordance with, the regulations.
 (3) To avoid doubt and despite subsection 55(2), subsections (1) and (2) apply even if the transitional water resource plan for the water resource plan area (or the amendment) is not consistent with the Basin Plan.
