250B  Concurrent operation intended
 (1) The Commonwealth water legislation is not intended to exclude or limit the concurrent operation of any law of a State.
 (2) If:
 (a) an act or omission of a person is both an offence against the Commonwealth water legislation and an offence against the law of a State; and
 (b) the person is convicted of either of those offences;
the person is not liable to be convicted of the other of those offences.
 (3) This section does not apply to a law of a State if there is a direct inconsistency between the Commonwealth water legislation and that law of a State.
Note: Section 250D avoids direct inconsistency arising in some cases by limiting the operation of the Commonwealth water legislation.
