Criteria for the Identification of Non-Government Monopoly Business Activities

Recent amendments to the Queensland Competition Authority Act 1997 extend the existing prices oversight regime to certain non-government monopoly business activities. The amendments require the Authority to develop criteria for use by the Premier and the Treasurer for deciding whether to declare a non-government business activity to be a monopoly business activity and to refer it to the Authority for prices oversight.

Following a full consultation process, the Authority released the required criteria in November 2008. Copies are available from the link below. Alternatively, copies are available from the Authority's offices at Level 19, 12 Creek Street, Brisbane or by calling the Authority on (07) 3222 0555.
