Issues paper10 Oct 2008

The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ released an issues paper seeking submissions on the development of water charge rules for water planning and management.

Consistent with Part 4 of the Water Act 2007, the Minister for Climate Change and Water, Senator Penny Wong, has written to the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ requesting advice on the water charge rules.

Establishing a set of water charge rules that apply to all Murray Darling Basin jurisdictions’ water planning and management charges will improve the transparency and availability of information regarding such charges and will assist the development of water markets by sending clearer pricing signals to water users.
