New South Wales Consolidated Regulations New South Wales Consolidated RegulationsWhere extraction components of access licences do not specify the rate 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 these water sources:
(a) water shall be supplied to domestic and stock access licences and local water utility access licences that have placed an order for water for that time, and
(b) then any remaining supply capability shall be shared between regulated river (high security) access licences, regulated river (conveyance) access licences and regulated river (general security) access licences that have placed an order for water in proportion to the share component volume of each access licence multiplied by the total percentage of the available water determinations made for the relevant licence category during the current water year.
