Price Submission 2023-2028

Every five years, Victorian water corporations are required to undertake a water price review by engaging customers about water and wastewater services, and the standards that customers desire from their water provider – balancing quality of outcomes with affordable prices.

Our proposal for the 2023-28 pricing period focuses on affordable prices, quality drinking water, reliable and responsive services and climate change action.
