any agreement relating to the apportionment of supply contributions that has been reached by the Commonwealth and States.

7.19 Overall limitation on size of adjustment amounts
If, at a particular time before the commencement of any adjustments proposed under section 7.11, the net effect of the total supply contribution, the total efficiency contribution and the total additional HEW contribution under sections 7.15 to 7.17 is an increase or decrease of more than 5% of the total surface water SDL for the Basin water resources as it stood at the reference time, the size of the supply contribution, the efficiency contribution and the additional HEW contribution for each affected unit are reduced in proportion so that the net effect is equal to that amount.
Note: This section allows a supply contribution, an efficiency contribution or an additional HEW contribution of more than 5% of total surface water SDL to each be given full effect in an adjustment, provided that the net effect across the Basin is within the 5% limit.

7.20 Final determination of amounts in 2017
(1) For the purpose of section 7.10, the Authority may make a determination to propose adjustments only if:
            (a) it has considered any advice from the Basin Officials Committee and submissions from members of the public; and
            (b) it is satisfied that the proposed adjustments meet the criteria under section 7.17.
(2) The Authority must determine supply contributions as at 30 June 2017.
Note: Some of the supply measures may not be operating by that date. The determination is based on the effect that they will have when they have come into operation by 2024.
(3) The Authority must determine the amounts of the proposed adjustments as:
            (a) an adjustment of the SDL for each affected unit equal to the net effect of supply and efficiency contributions for the unit; and
            (b) an adjustment of the SDL for the Basin water resources equal to the net effect of the adjustments for all the affected units.
(4) A proposed adjustment must be in the form of a formula as a function of time, either varying continuously or changing at specified times, that reflects the changes up until 30 June 2024 of:
            (a) the relevant efficiency contributions; and
            (b) the operation of the overall limit on adjustments in section 7.19.

7.21  Final determination of amounts in 2026
(1) For the purpose of section 7.11, the Authority may make a determination of the proposed adjustments only if:
            (a) it has considered any advice from the Basin Officials Committee and submissions from members of the public; and
            (b) it is satisfied that the proposed adjustments meet the criteria under section 7.17.
