On 11 February 2014, the Federal Government released the Productivity Commission’s (PC) Final Report into the National Access Regime (Regime).

In large part, the Final Report adopted the PC’s key recommendations set out in its Draft Report released in May 2013.

While the PC concluded that the current Regime should be retained, it did recommend that amendments be made to four of the five declaration criteria in order to reflect its view that the Regime should only apply in exceptional circumstances.

This Alert provides an overview of the Final Report.
