area within the polygon of that name specified in the dataset that:
            (a) is titled Murray‑Darling Basin Water Resource Plan Areas—Groundwater; and
            (b) has a dataset scale of 1:250,000; and
            (c) is held by the Authority on 14 November 2017.
(3) A reference in section 3.07 to an area of a particular name is a reference to the area within the polygon of that name specified in both the datasets mentioned in subsections (1) and (2).
(4) The Authority must publish on its website a map that:
            (a) identifies each water resource plan area; and
            (b) is prepared using the relevant dataset mentioned in this section.

3.04 Flexibility relating to boundaries of water resource plans
If a segment of the boundary of a water resource plan area, as specified in a dataset mentioned in section 3.03, is also the boundary of the Murray‑Darling Basin, the water resource plan for the area may specify a different course for that segment within the Murray‑Darling Basin, provided that the changed boundary:
            (a) meets the requirements of item 2 of the table in subsection 22(1) of the Act; and
            (b) does not result in a material change in the water resources to which the water resource plan area applies.
