Overview
We are reviewing the prices to apply for GWMWater customers from 1 July 2023.
GWMWater submitted its proposed prices on 30 September 2022.
We are assessing the proposal against a legal framework established by the Victorian Government and set out in the Water Industry Regulatory Order, and the commission’s PREMO pricing framework.
PREMO includes incentives for Victoria's water businesses to put forward their best offer to customers and deliver the outcomes its customers value most.
Following consultation, we issue a determination that sets the maximum prices that GWMWater may charge customers.
We sought feedback from customers and stakeholders at multiple points throughout the price review process to inform our decision-making process.
