Description of Project

 

Tasman prepared this report to assist the National Competition Council to determine whether water facilities are likely to meet the criteria for access declaration under Part IIIA of the Trade Practices Act (TPA). This study was conducted due to the considerable interest in the industry in the possibility of applying the declaration mechanism to the water industry.  The report analysed whether:

·         access to services provided by water facilities would promote competition in another market;

·         it is economically feasible to develop another facility to provide the service;

·         water facilities are nationally significant;

·         access can be provided without undue risk to human health and safety; and

·         access is likely to be in the public interest.
