Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

Mechanically, this Order expands the Sydney Water Corporation’s area of operations. It adds specific land parcels in Wingecarribee and Wollondilly (Schedules 1–2), coastal waters adjacent to those local government areas that are landward of Commonwealth baselines or that contain existing Corporation structures, any land containing existing Corporation works used in its systems, and land within 100 metres of those works (cl.3).

The Corporation becomes the responsible operator for those areas. The Order does not itself set fees or payments; it places the listed areas under Sydney Water’s operational jurisdiction, which affects future service provision and regulation.
