Dams safety regulation levy review

Share your ideas on designing a levy to fund the regulation of dam safety in NSW.

The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) has been authorised to investigate the efficient costs of Dams Safety NSW (DSNSW) carrying out its work under the Dams Safety Act 2015.

DSNSW is an independent regulatory body that ensures declared dam owners manage the safety of their dams. This review will design a levy to recover the efficient costs of the services DSNSW provides from dam owners.

IPART has published a Draft Report outlining its proposed decisions.

Tell us what you think

IPART welcomes feedback on the Draft Report. We want to hear from owners of declared dams such as local councils, state-owned corporations and mining operators, as well as any other interested stakeholders.

You can respond until 19 August 2024 by:
