The Corporate Structure of Australian Water Utilities

This report explores key aspects of the corporatised Australian water utilities following recent efforts to convert water management in Australia to a system of state owned enterprises. It endeavours to analyse the statutory provisions under which the water utilities operate and contrast this with the practical operation of the
utilities.

The report includes a sample of both urban and ural utilities and adopts a specific focus on the States of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia.
