82Commonwealth to manage Commonwealth share of change in reliability

82  Commonwealth to manage Commonwealth share of change in reliability   If the Basin Plan specifies, under paragraph 81(3)(c), the Commonwealth’s share of a change in the reliability of the water allocations in relation to the water resources of a water resource plan area, the Commonwealth:  (a) must endeavour to manage the impact of the Commonwealth’s share of the change in reliability on the holders of water access entitlements; and  (b) may take steps to ensure that the holders of water access entitlements do not suffer a change in the reliability of their water allocations as a result of the Commonwealth’s share of the change in reliability. Note 1: This subsection implements in part the policy in clauses 49 and 50 of the National Water Initiative. Note 2: If a change in the reliability of water allocations results despite the steps taken by the Commonwealth, the Commonwealth may be liable for an amount under section 83.
