43 General priority of extractions

Where the extraction component of an access licence does not specify the rate of extraction as a share of supply capability or a volume per unit time, the following priority of extractions shall apply whenever supply capability is insufficient to satisfy all orders for water in any section of this water source:

(a) water for domestic and stock access licences, local water utility access licences and regulated river (high security) access licences that have placed orders for water, and

(b) then any remaining supply capability is to be shared between regulated river (general security--A class) and regulated river (general security--B class) access licences that have placed an order for water, in proportion to the share components specified in those access licences.
