PIAC made a submission responding to the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal’s (IPART) draft terms of reference from the NSW Government on the future of embedded networks in NSW.
For the most part, PIAC is supportive of the draft terms of reference but recommend that the future of gas embedded networks and electricity embedded networks also be considered, and urge that IPART’s primary considerations be the consumers living in embedded networks, rather than the service providers and their business models. In this submission we respond to each of the five tasks assigned to IPART and comment on the nine relevant considerations listed, as well as including our additional recommended considerations.
Reducing unfair fines and over-policing from alcohol-free zones
