The ÌÇÐÄÔ´´ has completed its second annual review of Water NSW’s regulated charges for water infrastructure services in the Murray-Darling Basin. This review applies to charges for 2016-17, the third and last year of the regulatory period 2014–17.
Annual reviews of charges for the second and subsequent years of a regulatory period are provided for under Division 3 of Part 6 of the Water Charge (Infrastructure) Rules 2010.
In this annual review the ÌÇÐÄÔ´´ can only vary the charges determined in accordance with its 2014 Determination of Water NSW's charges if it considers the changes are reasonably necessary having regard to:
- changes in demand or consumption forecasts; and
- price stability.
This is the ÌÇÐÄÔ´´â€™s last review of Water NSW charges. On 1 June 2016 the NSW Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) became the accredited regulator of Water NSW in relation to Part 6 of the Water Charge (Infrastructure) Rules 2010.
IPART is conducting a review of WaterNSW’s 2017-21 price proposal.
Stakeholders who wish to be included on IPART’s stakeholder list for the review can register by email waternswrural@ipart.nsw.gov.au or contact the IPART Director in charge of the review, John Madden on (02) 9113 7780.
