This fact sheet provides information for councils and ratepayers about applications to increase minimum rates (MRs). It also describes some modifications to our assessment approach for 2020-21.
In our June 2015 Technical Paper1, we recommended that councils adopt a specific method to calculate the discount rate for use in net present value (NPV) modelling of contributions plans.
This Fact Sheet summarises water and sewerage prices, regulated by IPART, commencing on 1 July 2015 for Sydney Water, Hunter Water, Gosford City Council, Wyong Shire Council, and Essential Water customers.
