UNPAID WATER BILLS
512. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Minister for Water:
I have a supplementary question. Can
we be assured that the strata company will no longer be issued with invoices
for this water use or is the minister saying that it will be expected to bear
the brunt of this cost?

We will continue to work with the
strata company. Another strata company is involved in a similar situation, but
with a lower amount of money, about $30 000, in dispute. We will continue to
work with this strata company to see how we
can resolve the situation. As the Minister for Commerce has pointed out in
trying to resolve the situation with Nicheliving, when we apply a rule,
we need to be aware that it might apply to other companies and situations. We
need to have a look more broadly to see whether others might be impacted, not
just Nicheliving, but other companies that
might have met their legal and technical obligations but leave others with a further
bill, as is the case here. We will continue to work with the company. It
is not my intention that this strata company is unfairly left with that burden,
such that it is. We will continue to work with it to see whether we can resolve
the situation.
