        Division 2—When Authority must propose appropriate adjustments

7.10 Initial adjustments to be proposed in 2017
(1) If the Authority has received a notification of measures under subsection 7.12(1) or (1A), it must, as soon as practicable after 30 June 2017 and no later than 15 December 2017:
            (a) for each affected unit, determine the amounts of proposed adjustments resulting from the notified measures in accordance with Division 4; and
            (b) propose accordingly, under section 23A of the Act:
                (i) an adjustment of the SDL for each affected unit; and
                (ii) an adjustment of the SDL for the Basin water resources equal to the net effect of the adjustments for all the affected units.
Note: Under section 23B of the Act, the Authority is then required to prepare appropriate amendments of the Basin Plan, for adoption by the Minister.
(2) The Authority must advise the Minister on the implications of a proposal for any declared Ramsar wetland.

7.11 Reconciliation adjustments to be proposed in 2026
(1)  If it appears to the Authority that a new determination of the appropriate adjustment amounts, made in accordance with Division 4, resulting from the effects, as at 31 December 2026, of the following:
            (a) notified measures;
            (b) additional supply measures;
            (c) additional efficiency measures;
            (d) additional HEW entitlements;
         would produce adjusted SDLs for one or more SDL resource units different from those that resulted from the determination made for the purpose of section 7.10, the Authority must, by that date:
            (e) determine those adjustment amounts for each affected unit; and
            (f) propose accordingly, under section 23A of the Act:
                (i) an adjustment of the SDL for each affected unit; and
                (ii) an adjustment of the SDL for the Basin water resources equal to the net effect of the adjustments for all the affected units.
Note 1: Since the adjustments to the SDLs proposed under section 7.10 were made to the Basin Plan, there has been a further set of adjustments made by the Water Amendment (Restoring Our Rivers) Act 2023, as well as changes to Division 4.
Note 2: Under section 23B of the Act, the Authority is then required to prepare appropriate amendments of the Basin Plan, for adoption by the Minister.
Note 3: This section might apply if, for example, a notified measure has been withdrawn or an additional supply or efficiency measure has been notified, or an additional HEW entitlement has been registered.
(2) The Authority must advise the Minister on the implications of a proposal for any declared Ramsar wetland.
