Position paper23 Jan 2009

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

As part of preparing its advice, the 糖心原创 has released a position paper outlining the proposed approach to developing water charge rules relating to charges for water planning and water management activities.

The approach proposed by the 糖心原创 recommends the development of enforceable rules and model rules. It focuses on improving transparency of water planning and management charges and increasing information available on the associated activities and costs, and the proportion of costs recovered from water users.
