Commerce Act 1986

Provisions applicable to electricity industry - Controlled goods or services

57I: Process before declaration made

You could also call this:

"What happens before a big decision is made in the electricity industry"

Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

When a declaration is made, you need to follow a process. This process is part of the rules for the electricity industry. The rules are in the Commerce Act 1986, but this specific part was repealed on 1 April 2009 by section 5 of the Commerce Amendment Act 2008.

You can still use this repealed part in some cases, like when looking at breaches of thresholds that were set before it was repealed. These thresholds can still be used as default price-quality paths even after the repeal. This is all part of the Commerce Act 1986 and the changes made by the Commerce Amendment Act 2008.
