          (2)   However, if only part of the agricultural property is in 1 or
                more of the priority catchments, the activity is only an
                agricultural ERA if—
                (a)   more than 75% of the lot on which it is carried out is in

                      regulation.
          (4)   A regulation may be made under subsection (3)(b) only if—
                (a)   the other land forms part of an agricultural property that

                      the map; and
                (b)   each priority catchment will, after the making of the
                      regulation, be a contiguous parcel of land.
          (5)   In this section—
                lot means—
                (a)   a lot under the Land Title Act 1994; or
