            (b) worked out in accordance with an alternative method determined by the Authority in consultation with the relevant Basin State before whichever of the following applies:
                (i) if the water resource plan for the surface water SDL resource unit is accredited as at the commencement of this section—on or before the first 30 June after that commencement;
                (ii) if the water resource plan for the surface water SDL resource unit is not accredited as at the commencement of this section—on or before 30 June of the water accounting period in which the register of take commences.

Division 2—Method for determining compliance—surface water

6.09 Method for determining compliance with long‑term annual diversion limit—surface water
(1) The method for determining compliance with the long‑term annual diversion limit for a surface water SDL resource unit in a water accounting period is to follow the steps set out in this Division.
(2) The method applies to each water accounting period after 30 June 2019 following the commencement of a water resource plan relating to the SDL resource unit.

6.10 Step 1—Calculation of annual permitted take and annual actual take
(1) For a water accounting period, sum the maximum quantity of water permitted to be taken by each form of take for consumptive use from the SDL resource unit, determined in accordance with the method for section 10.10 (annual permitted take).
Note:   Section 10.10 requires a water resource plan to set out a method for determining the maximum quantity of water permitted to be taken by each form of take for consumptive use from the SDL resource unit in each water accounting period.
(2) For the same water accounting period, sum the quantity of water actually taken by each form of take for consumptive use from the SDL resource unit (annual actual take).
Note: See section 10.15.

6.11 Step 2—Record difference between annual actual take and annual permitted take
(1) If the annual actual take is greater than the annual permitted take, the difference must be recorded on the register of take for the SDL resource unit as a debit.
(2) If the annual actual take is less than the annual permitted take, the difference must be recorded on the register of take as a credit.
(3) If there is no difference between the annual actual take and the annual permitted take, a zero must be recorded
