Any provision so made shall be in accordance with any agreement between the Authority and the Councils of the constituent districts affected or, in the absence of such agreement, shall have regard to the population, valuation of land, extent of works proposed, extent of contribution towards administration and other costs, and such other factors as the Governor-General thinks reasonable.”
