Tasmania regulation
This order declares that providing services for the collection or use of stormwater, and for the recycling and re‑use of water, are not “regulated activities.” The declaration applies whether or not the service uses infrastructure that also collects sewage.
Who decides: the order re‑classifies these services as unregulated. Who pays: providers no longer carry compliance duties tied to being a “regulated activity.” Behaviour change: regulators stop applying that regulatory framework to these services and providers may change practices in response.
