The Minister may, by order published on the NSW legislation website, establish access licence dealing principles—

to regulate or prohibit the kinds of access licence dealing rules that may be established by a management plan, and

to regulate or prohibit the kinds of dealings that may be effected under this Division, and

to establish conversion factors applicable to the share components of access licences in respect of which dealings are effected under this Division.

The access licence dealing principles may include provisions relating to any or all of the following—

the establishment of interstate water tagging zones,
