– Specific prices will apply for 12 months over the financial year 1 July to 30 June.
– The charge should reflect cost of supply and be commercially based so as to ensure the price covers the economic cost of supply.
– There should be a medium term pricing arrangement to establish a pricing framework for a set period.
– This price arrangement will be tailored where practicable to the period covered by any ICRC price determination for ACTEW, where the timing of any determination so allows.
– As a starting basis for price negotiation, annual price changes to the Queanbeyan City Council will acknowledge any allowed price change in the ACT.
– Prices and price structure should be set on user pays basis so as to give appropriate price signals to the Queanbeyan City Council, and should reward changes in consumer behaviour that involve more efficient water use.
– The price structure should be designed to reflect any specific needs of the Queanbeyan City Council where this is consistent with the agreed principles on cost reflectiveness and efficient price signals. To this effect, a number of tariff options should be provided to the Queanbeyan City Council at each price review.
d. Price negotiations have involved Council and officers of the Queanbeyan City Council and senior executives and officers of ACTEW Corporation. Sign off of the Agreement is undertaken by the Managing Director of ACTEW Corporation and the General Manager of the Queanbeyan City Council.
