Through this process, a new CRIS for the plant export cost recovery arrangements has been drafted outlining the costs associated with the delivery of export regulatory activities and providing a set of proposed charging adjustments.
We are conducting public consultation to seek feedback from industry and other affected stakeholders on the proposed charging adjustments. The public consultation is taking place via our Have Your Say stakeholder engagement platform on our website.
