The notes I have in front of me say that the provisions of clause 21(1) already provide the appropriate reflection of these treaties, and it would be inappropriate for the basin plan to be required to implement the requirements of domestic instruments such as those under the EPBC Act. The instruments made under the EPBC Act should be implemented under that particular act.
