National Water Reform Inquiry
Date: 29-Jun-2017
The Australian Government has asked the Productivity Commission to undertake an inquiry into the reform of Australia’s water resource sector. The inquiry will assess progress in achieving the objectives and outcomes of the National Water Initiative (NWI) and the need for any future reform.
The Commission is required to:
- assess the outcomes of the NWI and related water reform efforts
- consider the potential and realised benefits of NWI implementation
- consider the scope for improving the NWI
- make recommendations on future reform priorities.
Submissions are normally six weeks after the Issues Paper is released (end March). The timeframes will not likely allow a full consultation process, but qldwater intends to at least prepare a draft submission and seek input through its Technical Reference Group. If the issues paper identifies further gaps, the process will be broadened.
