These charges were reviewed through a public process, where the Essential Services Commission:
- Completed extensive analysis of Melbourne Water’s proposed 2008 Waterways Water Plan. The Waterways Water Plan outlines our long-term goals and targets including specific programs to improve our rivers and creeks and provide a safe level of flood protection for communities.
- Reviewed capital expenditure, operating expenditure and forecast demand.
- Consulted with stakeholders, including a review of submissions made by interested parties.
The 2008 Water Price Review covers a five year regulatory period from 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2013. Prices will increase annually during this period.
