IGWC Metering Report Card 2020 - 21
Inspector- General of Water Compliance, January 2023
On 5 August 2021, the Water Act 2007 (Cth) was amended to provide the Inspector-General of Water Compliance (Inspector-General) a legislative function of oversight of implementation of Basin governments’ commitments set out in certain intergovernmental agreements. This specifically includes the Murray-Darling Basin Compliance Compact (the Compact). In performing that oversight function, the Inspector-General worked closely with the Murray-Darling Basin State and Territory Governments to develop this first metering Report Card. The purpose of the Report Card is to identify progress being made in water metering reforms by State Governments. States have committed to have compliant meters based on the AS4747 standard in place by July 2025 or have relevant exemptions or grandfathering in place. This Report Card will be updated each year to track progress by jurisdictions with the aim of jurisdictions being compliant by the mid-2025 deadline.
Note – the Report Card is a point in time snapshot as at 30 June 2021.
