2005 Distribution Review

Valuation of Easement

Given the unique characteristics of easements (relative to the majority of other distribution assets), in the 2001 Distribution Review the Queensland Competition Authority chose to value easements at historic cost.

For the 2005 Distribution Review, the Authority released a discussion paper seeking input on an appropriate valuation methodology to apply to easements.

In March 2004 the Authority released its Final Decision to adopt an indexed historic cost approach to the future valuation of easements.
