The West Australian Government has been looking into the possibility of recovering the costs of water management and planning.
The final report by the Economic Regulation Authority (ERA) in its inquiry into water resource management and planning charges was delivered to the Treasurer on 28 February 2011, who tabled the report in Parliament on 25 March 2011.
The report is now publicly available on the ERA website (http://www.erawa.com.au/2/919/46/inquiry_into_water_resource_management_and_plannin.pm)
