                                                                                                                                                                                            (a) represents a natural or near‑natural example of a particular type of water‑dependent ecosystem as evidenced by a relative lack of post‑1788 human induced hydrologic disturbance or adverse impacts on ecological character; or
                                                                                                                                                                                            (b) represents the only example of a particular type of water‑dependent ecosystem in the Murray‑Darling Basin; or
                                                                                                                                                                                            (c) represents a rare example of a particular type of water‑dependent ecosystem in the Murray‑Darling Basin.
