New Pricing Structure

Pricing Update

Melbourne Water outlined the current three year pricing plan in our November 2004 edition of StreamNews. This plan covered the 2004/05 to 2006/07 financial years.

The pricing plan has now been extended to cover the 2007/08 year, to meet the requirements of the Water Plan process being conducted by the Essential Services Commission. The pricing plan is tabled below to provide licence holders with information on expected licence charges into the future. Under this pricing plan, diverters will achieve full recovery of costs by 2007/08.

Diverters seeking additional information from Melbourne Water, should contact Steve Hosking, Phil Biasi or Tim Donovan on 9784 6373 or visit the Melbourne Water website.
