Regulatory Environment

Every five years, a review is undertaken to reset the prices that Multinet can charge for access to its distribution system. Multinet is currently operating under its third Access Arrangement, for the period 2008-2012. Previous Access Arrangements were for the periods 1998-2002 and 2003-2007. These three access arrangements were set by the Essential Services Commission of Victoria (ESC) during Access Arrangement Reviews.
