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 an Issues Paper outlining its proposed approach and setting out key issues under investigation in this review.

Tell us what you think

IPART welcomes feedback on the Issues Paper. 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 16 April 2024 by:

• sharing your idea, and/or
• making a submission.

There will be further opportunities to provide feedback throughout the review. IPART will publish a Draft Report and hold a public hearing later this year.

This consultation is now closed. Thank you for your contribution.
