[Questions outlined below prior to Seqwater responses.] A response would be appreciated by Friday 17 August 2012. From: Colin Nicolson Sent: Friday, 17 August 2012 11:30 AM To: Angus MacDonald Cc: Matt Bradbury Subject: NEW DATA REQUEST 10 AUGUST 2012 Angus Here are our responses to the data request and supplementary data request (addendum) of 10 August 2012. QCA Question 1 Past Renewals Data We have been reviewing the past renewals data prepared by The Indec. Some of the items, appear to be more closely related to operational activities. The definition used to determine the capex/opex split endorsed in the 2006 SunWater review (with see refer Tier 1 Working Paper 10) is as follows: “Based on industry best practice, expenditures related to standard operating activities and other expenditures more closely aligned to corrective and preventative maintenance activities have been reclassified out of the refurbishment [renewals] database and into the general operating and maintenance budgets [opex].” a) In relation to the above definition, where relevant, please clarify the exact nature of each of the following types of expenditure [as per your headings and data provided to us]: • “Recreation Maintenance • Infrastructure Maint - Reactive Maint • Infrastructure Maint - Scheduled Maint • Dam Ops - irrigation schemes • Operational Maintenance Services.” b) Also, there appear to be some flood damage repair costs included in past renewal expenditure. Refer Atkinson Dam Flood Renewal (Lower Lockyer Valley WSS). Your main submission indicates that Seqwater does not intend to recover flood damage costs.
