We have completed our review end-of-term review of the 2022-2024 WaterNSW operating licence. We presented our review package to the Minister for Water in May 2024. The package includes our final report to the Minister and recommended licence.
Our review sought to address issues that arose during the term of the existing licence. It also considered if the current licence obligations continue to fulfil objectives under the licence and Water NSW Act 2014.
We conducted a public consultation process including a public hearing in February 2024 for stakeholders to provide verbal feedback on our draft recommendations for the operating licence. More information about our approach to the review is provided in our final report to the Minister.
The Minister for Water considered our recommendations and tabled the proposed Water NSW operating licence 2024-2028 in the NSW Parliament. The Governor approved the licence which took effect from 1 July 2024.
