GWMWater outcomes reporting

This page summarises GWMWater's outcomes, measures and targets for the regulatory period 2018–23, and actual performance against these commitments from 2018-19. More details are available on GWMWater’s website.

What are outcomes?

Water businesses are accountable to their customers for delivering the outcomes set out in their price submissions, under our new PREMO water pricing framework. Each business is required to report at least annually to its customers on:

• it's performance against the specified measures and targets for each outcome
• an overall assessment of whether it has delivered on expectations for each outcome, including the business’s explanation for any performance shortfalls and how it intends to address them.

We have requested businesses also provide us with a summary outcome report document using a standard template. These summary outcome reports are all published together on our website. For the 2021-22 reporting year, each water business has reported its actual performance against its targets on each measure, outcome, and provided an overall rating. The self-assessments use a simple “traffic light” rating: 

• green = achieved target
• amber = mostly achieved target
• red = failed to achieve target.

Each business has also provided comments on its performance overall and on each outcome.

Our observations

GWMWater’s self-assessment is reasonable and mostly sets higher benchmarks for its targets. It demonstrated accountability for not meeting one of its outcome measures this year by lowering its tariffs below the approved rate for affected customers, as it did in the previous year.
