Description

The development of nationally significant water supply infrastructure is a positive step towards ensuring

 Shaping the policy framework for how we regulate infrastructure projects under different commercial
models to encourage the long term development of water supply options.
 Exploring the opportunities for wholesale water markets and trading, including bulk transfers
between water companies, and water trading models to efficient allocate water between different
types of user
 Shaping the key commercial principles that ensure that costs, risk and rewards are allocated in a
way that ensure that the interests of water customers are protected and that outcomes are delivered.
 Examining the institutional arrangements to ensure the co-ordinated development, delivery and
operation of water infrastructure across the sector;
