About the Price Submission

Every four years, we are required to develop a Price Submission that outlines the prices we propose to apply for that regulatory period and sets out the service levels and values that customers can expect to receive from us.

Our Submission was submitted to the Essential Services Commission (ESC) on 28 September 2023.

The ESC’s water pricing framework provides strong incentives for us to deliver better value for customers, and we must demonstrate how we’ve considered the services that our customers want.

In order to develop our Price Submission, we engaged with our customers to find out what their priorities, needs and concerns are when it comes to the level of service our customers receive.

GMW's Price Submission finalised

The ESC has made its final determination on our prices for the next four-year regulatory period.

They found that our price submission was of a "high quality" and demonstrated “prudency and efficiency”.

    Service Plans

    In 2021, we began engaging with different customer groups through surveys, online focus groups, and in-person workshops to help us understand the issues that matter most to them. The feedback we received helped us develop our service plans, which forms the base of our Price Submission.
