Comment sought on the 2015 review of the Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme.
WSAA welcomes the opportunity to respond to the review of the Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme (WELS). It is good regulatory practice to review legislation and programs periodically, and this is the second review since the scheme started. In light of the last review WSAA regards this review as a routine review to determine whether the scheme can be tweaked to improve its effectiveness or reduce compliance costs. WELS is a well‐functioning and well‐established part of the water efficiency landscape. It complements the suite of water efficiency measures which are undertaken and funded by utilities.
