PARK HOME OWNERS —
ELECTRICITY BILL CREDITS
1066. Hon ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the
Treasurer:
I
refer to the $665 million Bell Group settlement, which is to be used as a $600
credit towards household electricity costs.
How will the government ensure that
this credit is applied to individual park home owners who currently access
their electricity through park management and do not hold an account directly
with an electricity provider?

I thank the honourable member for some
notice of the question.
The McGowan government's
$600 credit is part of our 10.4 per cent decrease in household fees and
charges. Households that are billed for their electricity use by other
providers, such as residents of caravan parks, retirement villages, apartment buildings or communities
supplied by local mining companies, will be eligible for an equivalent credit, except in exceptional circumstances. Households that are billed by
other providers and that were registered for the energy concession extension
scheme on 4 October 2020 will receive the credit automatically.
Work
is currently underway on an application process for households not billed
directly by Synergy or Horizon Power and
for those who are not eligible for ECES. More details will available for these
customers over the coming weeks.
