Port of Melbourne compliance with pricing regulations
Overview
Our role
The Port of Melbourne must submit a tariff compliance statement to us annually outlining how it has demonstrated compliance with a pricing order (legislation that regulates how the Port of Melbourne sets its prices). Every five years we are required to assess whether there has been any significant and sustained non-compliance with the pricing order.
Between five-yearly reviews, we provide interim commentaries on the tariff compliance statements to guide the Port of Melbourne and identify important issues impacting port users and other stakeholders.
Our commentaries are not an assessment of the Port of Melbourne’s compliance with the pricing order, nor do they provide findings on whether any non-compliance was significant and sustained.
