As currently required an interest rate of 13.5 percent increasing to 15 percent in 3 years has been used. The charges shall be subject to adjustment; at the commencement of availability of supply; at the end of the fifth season of availability of supply and annually thereafter to compensate for any difference in any element of these charges as allowed for under sections 210 and 212 of the Act.

The annual basic charge payable in respect of irrigable land within the District shall be $885 per hectare and shall be payable where: (1) a water availability agreement has not been entered into, or (2) where charges under a water availability agreement would be less than the basic charge for the total specified irrigable area.

Each land title within the District which is the subject of a water availability agreement will be allocated one unit of water for each hectare of irrigable land included in the District and will be liable for the annual charge of $1110 per unit whether or not the full 3000 cubic metres is used.

10. The annual basic and water availability charges shall be reduced for the first four seasons of supply as shown in the Third Schedule hereto. The reductions, together with the interest thereon, shall be debited to the appropriate scheme account, and recovered over the subsequent 16 years.

13. Surplus Water—If, at any time after the commencement of availability of supply, the National Water and Soil Conservation Authority is of the opinion that the supply of water from the water supply works is likely to be in excess of the amount to be supplied in accordance with water availability agreements, it may so advise the Minister and may recommend to him terms and conditions, being not more favourable than those applicable to water availability agreements, on which such surplus water should be supplied.
