    Water quality and the community: Understanding the views, values and actions of residents of the ACT and surrounding region. February 2016 Jacki Schirmer1,2 and Melinda Mylek2 1Institute for Applied Ecology, University of Canberra 2Health Research Institute, University of Canberra Acknowledgements Many people and organisations contributed to this study. First and foremost, we would like to thank the 4700 people who took the time to complete the survey and help build a better understanding of how people living in the ACT and surrounding region view and value the region’s lakes and waterways, and of their views about taking action to improve water quality. We also thank the people who had input during the survey design process, both through providing suggestions for content and reviewing draft questions. These include staff of the ACT Environment and Planning Directorate, the ACT Basin Priority Project Advisory Group – Subject Experts and Academics, the ACT Basin Priority Project Advisory Group – Community, Peak and Professional Stakeholders Groups, and the ACT and Region Catchment Coordination Group. This study was funded by the ACT Basin Priority Project, which seeks to improve the quality of water flowing from urban and rural areas into catchments within and outside the ACT. The survey was also supported by the ACT and Region Catchment Management Coordination Group, and by other organisations including the ACT government, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council, Icon Water, National Capital Authority, Palerang Council, Queanbeyan City Council, South East Local Land Services and Yass Valley Council. We thank these funders and supporters for their contributions to the study. Executive Summary The lakes and waterways of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and surrounding region have multiple environmental values, contribute to an attractive landscape, provide places for recreation, and support economic activity for farmers and local businesses.

  • Urban Water Utilities, Part A
    Appendix F Jurisdictional summaries Jurisdictional summaries are provided to document the institutional arrangements within each State and Territory for the planning and management of water supply and wastewater services. These summaries are written by the States and Territories and updated annually. F1 Australian Capital Territory F1.1 Introduction The ACT Government’s Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate has several roles in water management within the ACT. It manages strategic water policy, including ACT implementation of national water reform and Murray–Darling Basin matters including Basin Plan implementation, and national issues relating to water access, pricing, and trading. The directorate also regulates the ACT’s water resources and monitors and reports on water quality in the Territory. ACT water policy is expressed through the Water Resources Act 2007. Reporting and compliance obligations for the ACT water sector are imposed by national legislation including the Australian Government’s Water Act 2007, Corporations Act 2001, the Privacy Act 1988, and ACT legislation including the Independent Competition and Regulatory Commission Act 1997, Territory-Owned Corporations Act 1990, Work Safety Act 2008, Utilities Act 2000, the Water Resources Act 2007, Environment Protection Act 1997, Water and Sewerage Act 2000 (for plumbing and sanitation services), and Public Health Act 1997. The Utilities Act 2000 provides for the Independent Competition and Regulatory Commission (ICRC) to issue licences and determine industry codes. Among other functions, the Utilities Act provides for the Essential Services Consumer Council. The ICRC determines price directions for water utilities and regulates access agreements. A new price direction incorporating biennial reviews was issued in June 2013 for the next price path period up to 30 June 2018.
