(a) water shall be supplied to domestic and stock access licences, major utility access licences, local water utility licences, regulated river (high security) access licences that have placed orders for water, and
(b) then any remaining supply capability shall be shared between regulated river (general security) access licences that have placed an order, in proportion to the share components specified on the access licences.
