original statement. This means that directors must consider any comments that are provided by the voting shareholders within one month of receiving the draft statement from ACTEW. The directors then have another month to finalise the modified statement, including consulting with the voting shareholders about any suggested changes that have been made. The final modified statement must then be tabled within 15 sitting days. This process suggests that the modified statement may not be tabled until the November sittings at the earliest.

In relation to ACTTAB, members will be aware that the government commissioned a feasibility study into future ownership options. It is expected that this report will be shortly considered by the government. The Assembly will be advised of the government’s intentions with regard to the future of ACTTAB in due course. I do not expect at this point that ACTTAB will be required to provide a modified statement of corporate intent.

I commend both of these documents to the Assembly.

MR BARR: I present today to the Assembly two final reports of the ICRC. The Independent Competition and Regulatory Commission Act 1997 requires the referring authority for an investigation to present the Assembly with the final report of their investigations. As the referring authority for these investigations, I present the commission’s final report and price direction for the provision of water and sewerage services in the territory from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2019 and the final report for retail prices for franchise electricity customers 2012 to 2014.
