adjustment mechanism as a constraint measure. This criterion does not apply to supply measures. Information Requirements for Preparing and Assessing Business Cases The following section details the information requirements that are to be provided in a supply or constraint measure business case. This information will allow SDLAAC to assess individual project business cases, assist the MDBA to conduct a preliminary analysis of an initial suite of proposed measures at the end of the business case phase, and inform SDLAAC and BOC’s determination of the package of measures to proceed to Phase 3. While not all requirements may be relevant for all projects, it is recommended that all requirements are considered and where not relevant this is stated in the business case with the associated rationale. Appendix 5 provides a high level summary of which sections are relevant to each supply and constraint measure project type. Appendix 6 provides a summary table of the key evaluation criteria which will be used by SDLAAC to assess projects. Reports need to be referenced appropriately throughout the business case and a bibliography of referenced reports included in the business case. Project Details All business cases need to provide an overview of the project that contains, as a minimum, the following: description of proposed measure, including locality map; name of proponent and proposed implementing entity; summary of estimated costs and proposed schedule; and definition of the measure within one of the follow categories: environmental works and measures at point locations; water efficiency projects; operating rules changes; physical constraint measures; or operational and management constraint measures. Ecological values of the site If relevant, the business case needs to include a description of the ecological values and features of the site that will be influenced by the proposed measure, including:
