Correction
On 21 January 2022, the ACCC corrected some minor data errors identified in table 4.1, in the related report text and the supplementary spreadsheet.
The ACCC has released its eleventh annual report under the Water Act 2007 (Cth). The report provides information on the state of the rural water sector in the Murray–Darling Basin (MDB) for the 2019–20 financial year. It covers:
- transformation and termination activity reported by off-river infrastructure operators
- changes in regulated water charges and trends across time, location, network type and Basin state for both on and off-river infrastructure operators
- tradeable water rights activity for off-river infrastructure operator networks
- spending on water planning and management (WPM) activities and the revenue from WPM charges reported by Basin states
- compliance with the Water Charge Rules and Water Market Rules enforced by the ACCC.
The ACCC invites stakeholders to submit any comments, feedback or questions on the report to the Water inbox: water@accc.gov.au.
