The Commission established the Consumer Consultative Committee (CCC) in 2019 as part of its strategy to improve the opportunities for its stakeholders to be better informed about the Commission’s work program and to contribute views and share information on issues relating to the Commission’s responsibilities.
The members of the CCC were appointed for an initial 2-year term from June 2019.
The CCC is an important part of the Commission’s community consultation. The key objectives of the Committee are to:
- improve consumer groups’ involvement in Commission processes
- improve consumer groups’ understanding of the Commission’s role, activities and approaches to various issues affecting consumers
- provide the Commission with input on issues affecting electricity, gas and water and sewerage customers
- provide a forum for dialogue between the Commission and consumer groups; and
- provide input on issues affecting the ACT community that fall within the scope of the Commission’s functions under the ICRC Act and Utilities Act.
