South Australian third party access regime for water and sewerage - Archived

01 Jul 2016

On 1 July 2016, the Water Industry (Third Party Access Amendment) Act 2015 (the Act) commenced. The Act establishes a water industry third party access regime (the Regime) and appoints the Commission as the regulator of that regime. The Regime provides a framework for the negotiation of access to certain water and sewerage infrastructure services, with the potential for arbitration should negotiations fail. As the regulator of the Regime, the Commission has the function of monitoring and enforcing compliance with the requirements of the Regime.

Potential third party access applicants are encouraged to contact SA Water in the first instance by phone (08) 7224 1379 or by visiting the SA Water Third Party Access website portal.

Further information about the Regime and the Commission’s role can be found on the Commission’s website.
