I quite clearly explained that if the water was for domestic use or for stock, there would be no licence. If a person is running a business in his backyard in Perth, yes, he will need a licence. However, if a person is using water from a bore or from a dam for his stock or for domestic purposes, it will not be caught by the licence.
