We’re committed to open and transparent consultation with our customers and community.

We established two standing dedicated advisory committees for our customers and the environment.

We also consult directly on our major projects and where appropriate establish committees and advisory groups to support discussions.

We currently have four key advisory groups. These include:

Customer Advisory Committee
Environmental Advisory Committee
Porrongitj Karrong and Aqueduct Community Reference Group
Boundary Creek Rehabilitation Community Reference Group

Since it was first convened in 1996, our Customer Advisory Committee has been helping us respond to customer needs, involve our community in project planning, understand issues raised by interest groups and access valuable community knowledge. This committee comprises of interested community members from various backgrounds, meaning that it represents a diverse range of skills, age, gender, cultural, business, social services and heritage.

In 2000 the Environmental Advisory Committee was established and has been advising us on local environmental issues and policy. This committee comprises of representatives from local environmental groups across our region.

These groups are instrumental in reshaping our business around the delivery of four key customer outcomes based on what we’ve been seeing and hearing from our community. They continue to advise us on strategic direction between pricing periods.
