4 Final annual report of Water Supply

(1) An annual report relating to the South-west Tablelands Water Supply is to be prepared, submitted, presented, and made publicly available, in accordance with the Annual Reports (Statutory Bodies) Act 1984 by the Water Supply Administrator and is to cover the period from 1 January 1997 to 30 June 1997.
