Learn about our plans and activities that show how we’re working to go beyond water for strong communities.
Price Submission
Our Price Submission is a five-year plan that sets out our priorities, the services we’ll provide, and prices that customers will pay from 2023 to 2028.
It reflects a balance which we believe continues to deliver high levels of service to our customers, ensuring their bills remain affordable, and maintains a sustainable business into the future.
The submission was developed with the support of our customers and stakeholders who shared their views.
Our independent regulator, the Essential Services Commission, released a final decision on our price submission in June 2023.
Every year, we release a Customer Outcomes Report that provides a summary of how we performed in the latest financial year.
