calculated, as at 31 December 2016, by allocating the reduction target for the zone among the SDL resource units in proportion to the amount, for each SDL resource unit, of its BDL, including any component of water diverted for urban water use, but excluding any component due to interception activities.

Redistribution of shared reduction amounts at request of Basin State
 (5) A Basin State may make a re‑allocation adjustment request.
 (6) For this section:
re‑allocation adjustment request means a request by a Basin State to the Authority to adjust the SDL resource unit shared reduction amounts for SDL resource units that are within a zone mentioned in subsection (2), being a request that:
            (a) is made for the purposes of this section:
                (i) before 1 July 2018; and
                (ii) before any water resource plan is submitted by the State for a water resource plan area in the zone (excluding any water resource plan submitted before 14 November 2017); and
            (b) if made before the substitution of this section by the Basin Plan 2012—is expressed to be made in anticipation of the substitution of this section by that instrument; and
            (c) has the effect that:
                (i) the total of the SDLs for each zone remains the same; and
                (ii) no SDL resource unit has an SDL that is larger than would result from replacing its shared reduction amount with zero; and
            (d) takes into account the amount of water already recovered by the Commonwealth at the time of the request (and does not, for example, request an SDL resource unit shared reduction amount for a unit that is lower than the amount of water already recovered by the Commonwealth at the time of the request).
Note: An earlier request referred to in section 7.14A is not a re‑allocation adjustment request for the purposes of this section. A Basin State may, if it has made such an earlier request, confirm it (provided it satisfies paragraphs (c) and (d)) or vary it by making a re‑allocation adjustment request for the purposes of this section. Otherwise, the default shared reduction amounts under subsection (4) will apply.
(7) A re‑allocation adjustment request may not be varied or replaced once made.
(8) If the Authority receives a re‑allocation adjustment request, the Authority must, as soon as practicable, publish the requested SDL resource unit shared reduction amounts for SDL resource units in the relevant zone on its website.

Variations due to changes in water recovery
 (9) A Basin State may:
            (a) after making a re‑allocation adjustment request and by 31 December 2018; or
            (b) if no re‑allocation adjustment request has been made—between 1 July 2018 and 31 December 2018;
  make a request to the Authority for variations
