Water and Sewerage Industry Act 2008

A price and service plan submitted by a regulated entity for approval by the Regulator under section 65 must include – a policy that sets out the circumstances in which the regulated entity will permit an owner of land to connect, or relocate or adjust a connection, to the regulated entity's water infrastructure or sewerage infrastructure; and a description of the land, whether identified by individual title or by locality, it will permit to be connected to the regulated entity's water infrastructure or sewerage infrastructure.

A regulated entity must permit an owner of land to connect, relocate or adjust a connection to its water infrastructure or sewerage infrastructure in accordance with its price and service plan approved by the Regulator under section 65.

The terms and conditions of connection, relocation or adjustment to a regulated entity's water infrastructure or sewerage infrastructure specified in a price and service plan approved by the Regulator under section 65 are binding on the successors in title of the owner or assigns in respect of that land.

Until a price and service plan is approved by the Regulator under section 65, the regulated entity must develop a policy that sets out the circumstances in which the regulated entity will permit a connection or relocation or adjustment of a connection to its water infrastructure or sewerage infrastructure and a description of the land that it will permit to be connected to its water infrastructure or sewerage infrastructure.

The regulated entity must publish on its website the policy and a description of the land referred to in subsection (4).
