The Productivity Commission sought comment on the review of the National Access Regime.
WSAA welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the Productivity Commission’s (PC’s) review of the National Access Regime (NAR). The NAR is intended to promote competition in industries with potential monopoly bottlenecks. WSAA supports competition where it is efficient and delivers value to customers. This submission provides WSAA’s views on the role of the National Access Regime in promoting competition in urban water. It comments on the water industry’s specific involvement with the National Access Regime to date and role of the NAR against the background of developments towards competition in the urban water industry.
