WATER REGULATIONS 2008 - REG 1A.02

                Schedule 1A amends Schedule 1 to the Act by incorporating into the Murray-Darling Basin Agreement amendments made to, and in accordance with, that Agreement.

Note 1    The Murray-Darling Basin Agreement requires the agreement of the Murray-Darling Basin Ministerial Council to any amendments of the Murray-Darling Basin Agreement.

Note 2    Amendments of the Murray-Darling Basin Agreement, made in accordance with that agreement, operate as an agreement between the parties. The text of the Agreement as set out in Schedule 1 to the Act will be amended accordingly, and as such it has further effect as provided for by the Water Act 2007 (for example, see sections 18E and 18F). The amendment of Schedule 1 to the Act by itself cannot amend the agreement between the parties.
