I'm sure a change does eventually kick in, but I thought it's a few years from now.
The actually original agreement with the MCC was in place with an expiry date of 2035, but I believe the MCC made concessions to bring that forward so that they could alter schedules around the World Cup Cricket. I think AFL tried to leverage WA to get a better MCC deal, you might recall the noise from Basil earlier this season, but I also read it looked like the MCC agreement might actually be extended, since then nothing official as far as I know.
Even so, it remains discretionary under AFL powers.
