Barwon Water - 2013 Water Plan: draft for public comment, Thursday 31 May 2012

We are seeking feedback from our community on the draft 2013 Water Plan.

The Water Plan sets the strategic direction for Barwon Water for the next 5 years (2013–2018). It details our service standards, business initiatives, expenditure forecasts, infrastructure plans and the prices our customers will pay.

Your feedback on the draft document will be used to finalise the Water Plan, before it is submitted to the Essential Services Commission (ESC) in September 2012 for final approval. The ESC is the independent regulator for the water sector.

Feedback can be sent to:


Barwon Water, Strategy and Regulation Team, PO Box 659 Geelong VIC 3220
or emailed to: info@barwonwater.vic.gov.au


Minister for Water Peter Walsh said he strongly encouraged all members of the community to provide comment on the draft plans which will outline the pricing structure for water.

"Victorians have an opportunity to provide their feedback on how much they will pay for their water in the future, and what services will be included in this cost.

"The provision of water services is an important economic infrastructure for households and businesses and the Victorian Government encourages active feedback," Mr Walsh said.
