EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Utilities Act 2000 (the Act), at section 22, provides that the Minister may, by the 
making of a disallowable instrument, exempt a person from the requirement for a 
licence in relation to provision of a utility service.  The instrument of exemption may 
include compliance conditions to which the exemption is subject.

This instrument grants Outward Bound Australia, as a water services provider at South Tharwa (Cuppacumabalong), an exemption from the licensing regime set out under section 22 of the Act on the basis that Outward Bound Australia is to comply with specific conditions in providing water services to the South Tharwa community.

The licence exemption applies for one year only.
