Water and sewerage review starts
The NSW Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal is starting its review of the Central Coast Council's prices for water, sewerage and related services.
New prices will apply from July 1, 2019.
Tribunal chairman Dr Peter Boxall said an Issues Paper had been released for public comment on June 12 that canvasses issues the tribunal will consider in assessing the pricing proposal to be put forward by the Council in September this year.
"We hope stakeholder organisations and members of the public will take this opportunity to share their views so that we can consider these when making our decisions on whether to allow the Council's proposal to be adopted."
As part of this review, the tribunal will also determine maximum prices for the transfer of bulk water between Hunter Water Corporation and the Central Coast.
Submissions in response to the Issues Paper and the pricing proposals will be accepted until October 12, 2018.
The tribunal will release its Final Report and Determination of prices in May 2019.
