  • 20 May 2008 Greg Wilson Chair Essential Services Commission
    Our Ref: #2460463,2007/216/1 Your Ref: Greg Wilson 20 May 2008 Chair Essential Services Commission Level 2, 35 Spring Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Dear Greg Rural Water Price Review - Goulburn-Murray Water response to ESC draft decision Goulburn-Murray Water (G-MW) has reviewed the draft decision of the Essential Services Commission (ESC or “the Commission”) in relation to its Water Plan for the period 2008/09 to 2012/13 and is pleased to have the opportunity to respond. We note the proactive response provided by the ESC regarding the difficulty in determining future water prices in an environment undergoing significant capital investment. Importantly this capital investment has a largely unknown effect on how we will deliver our services in an automated environment. Operating efficiency gains need to be offset against the increased cost of maintaining these new structures. G-MW are grateful for the interim review opportunity to re-submit further pricing proposals for key services by October 2008. You will note in our response that G-MW have accommodated as much as practicable the recommended variances to the Water Plan 2008/09 – 2012/13. However there are some essential programs that have targeted water savings and strict timeframe deliverables. These have been clearly highlighted for your final consideration. As they are externally funded the majority of these deliverables will have little or no effect or water pricing. Details have also been provided on appropriate service standards as requested. In addition, G-MW proposes a number of changes to reflect additional obligations, such as the introduction of the Terrorism Act early this year.

  • Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Background
    Chapter 1: Introduction __________________________________________________________________________________________ 1.1 Background Global warming from the human-generated increase in greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere is increasingly accepted by the public and the scientific community as a threat, not only to the world economy, but possibly also to civilization. The Stern Review (2006) has highlighted the grave likely economic consequences of global warming and the relatively small costs in reducing its impact to acceptable levels. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has stated that there is a 90 % chance that human activities are causing global warming (IPCC, 2007: 5). This level of certainty is not sufficient to provide a statistically significant result in a scientific study, however the severity of possible consequences of global warming is such that action on greenhouse gas abatement could be seen as a prudent and justified form of insurance. Scientific certainty would most likely only occur when the damage from global warming has become irreversible and any corrective action is too late (Stern, 2006: ii,x). The Stern Review (2006: 1) described global warming as ‘the greatest and widest-ranging market failure ever seen’. There is market failure due, among other things, to: (a) Externalities, “Greenhouse gases are, in economic terms, an externality: those who produce greenhouse-gas emissions are bringing about climate change, thereby imposing costs on the world and on future generations, but they do not face the full

  • VFF Submission Inquiry Into Melbourne" Future Water Supply
    VFF Submission Environment and Natural Resources Committee Inquiry into Melbourne" Future Water Supply Foreword The Victorian Farmers Federation is Australia's largest state farmer organisation, and the only recognised, consistent voice on issues affecting rural Victoria. The VFF represents 19,000 farmer members, representing 15,000 farm enterprises. The VFF consists of an elected Board of Directors, a member representative Policy Council to set policy and eight commodity groups representing dairy, grains, livestock, horticulture, chicken meat, pigs, flowers and egg industries. Farmers are elected by their peers to direct each of the commodity groups and are supported by Melbourne-based staff. Each VFF member is represented locally by one of the 230 VFF branches across the state and through their commodity representatives at local, district, state and national levels. The VFF also represents farmers' views on hundreds of industry and government forums. Simon Ramsay President Submission to the Environment and Natural Resources Committee's Inquiry into Melbourne's Future Water Supply 2 I.Introduction The VFF welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Environment and Natural Resources Committee's Inquiry into Melbourne's Future Water Supply. The VFF submission builds on the Government's plan to allocate 75 GL of water savings, generated through the Northern Victoria Infrastructure Renewals Project (NVIRP), to Melbourne through the North-South Pipeline. This plan is not supported by the VFF. The fact is water should be seen as a constraint on development for urban growth just as it seen as a constraint on rural and agricultural growth. To interconnect supplies beyond the existing level of interconnection is essentially a population centralization policy rather than a regional development policy.
