Rural Water Charging: An Australian Perspective

​This publication provides a summary of the key principles and processes followed in the setting of charges for rural water supply schemes across Australia. The aim is to provide an indication of the key steps and elements of the processes followed in Australia, to act as a guideline to help structure the development and implementation of charging regimes for rural water supplies in other countries. It is not intended to provide a prescriptive regime, but instead serves as a starting point to understanding the key issues to consider.
