Inquiry into Water Pricing in SA

Submission 1 – February 2019 
Topic: A Cautious Conclusion – Response

Uniting Communities welcomes the opportunity to contribute to this Inquiry. We are a major provider of community services in South Australia, including a number of services to assist people dealing with poverty and income disadvantage that means that paying for essential services is often difficult.

Submission 2 – May 2019 
Topic: Response to “A Balanced Bargain” 

The SA Water industry act sets out objects of the Act, object ‘e’ is to “protect the interest of consumers of water and sewerage services.” We suggest that the Inquiry must be cognisant of this object and to provide recommendations that are in line with this object.
