  1. Purpose of HiCoG: The purpose of the HiCoG shall be to communicate with a view to:

    (a) enable data and information transfer for high flow management purposes;

    (b) communicate and to the extent possible co-ordinate a pre-emptive high flow response in the form of a High Flow Plan, to apply throughout a high flow event;

    (c) facilitate and co-ordinate communication between the parties prior to and during a high flow event;

    (d) manage effectively, as far as practicable, the adverse effects of high flow events on people, the environment, plant and structures; and

    (e) enable review and audit after high flow events to better understand the consequences of different high flow events on people, the environment, plant and structures.

  2. Role of HiCoG: HiCoG shall, once a High Flow Planning Zone is reached at any of the Upper Waitaki Lakes, meet to provide a forum for communication and co-ordination. HiCoG will endeavour to:

    (f) establish any pre-emptive measures required prior to a high flow arriving;

    (g) establish any measures required to be taken during a high flow; and

    (h) comply with this agreement and this Schedule.

  3. Constituency: Each party shall be entitled to appoint two HiCoG Representatives and remove any person appointed as that party’s HiCoG Representative by it and appoint another HiCoG Representative, provided that:

    (a) Each appointment and removal of a person as a HiCoG Representative must be effected by notice in writing to the other party;

    (b) Prior to the Commencement Date, the parties will each notify each other of their initial HiCoG Representatives;

    (c) Each party may (in the same manner provided in clause 3(a)) of this schedule appoint a person as an alternate for the HiCoG Representative appointed by it from time to time and remove any person so appointed and appoint another person in his place. An alternate will be entitled to attend any meeting of the HiCoG which is not attended by the HiCoG Representative whose alternate he or she is, and to exercise all powers of that HiCoG Representative to the extent that that HiCoG Representative has not exercised them.

  4. Power of HiCoG Representatives: Decisions of the HiCoG will not bind either party.
