IPART seeks feedback on Special Variation application

Today the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) has opened its public consultation about applications from Tamworth Regional Council and eight others across NSW which are seeking a Special Rate Variation.

All applications are published on the IPART website www.ipart.nsw.gov.au along with information about how it assesses applications. There is a five-minute survey to provide feedback. The IPART consultation is open for 20 days. Decisions about applications are expected to be published on the IPART website by May 2024.

Council lodged an application earlier this month for a permanent Special Rate Variation of 36.3% over two years. The application comprises a variation of 18.5 per cent from July 1, 2024-25 (including the set rate peg of 4.9%) and 15% in 2025-26 (including the forecast 2.5% rate peg).

Council has a range of information about the proposed Special Rate Variation at    www.haveyoursay.tamworth.nsw.gov.au/srv
