The ACCC has completed its seventh annual report on the state of the rural water sector in the Murray-Darling Basin. The report provides information for the 2015-16 financial year on:
- charges for water planning and management activities undertaken by Basin State departments and water authorities
- trends in charges for rural water infrastructure services
- transformation, termination and trade for off-river operators
- compliance with the water rules enforced by the ACCC.
The report forms the key part of the ACCC’s monitoring and reporting obligations under the Water Act 2007.
The ACCC invites stakeholders to submit any comments, feedback or questions on the report to the Water inbox: water@accc.gov.au.
