On 27 April 2018, DBCT Management Pty Ltd (DBCTM) submitted a draft amending access undertaking (DAAU) seeking to modify the 2017 access undertaking (2017 AU).
In its application, DBCTM proposed to amend the 2017 AU and create a mechanism to amend the financial model associated with the 2017 access undertaking (the annual revenue requirement model), if a perceived error is identified.
DBCTM also proposed a change to the model, using this mechanism, for the tax treatment of the remediation allowance.
The QCA received one stakeholder submission on the remediation allowance DAAU, from the DBCT User Group.
