In calculating tier should apply to termination for the fixed facilities charge, MI sets out the following structure in its schedule of charges: Tier 3 water delivery rights, if any, are terminated first Tier 2 water delivery rights, if any, are terminated next Tier 1 delivery rights, if any, are terminated last. For example, an irrigator who holds 300 ML of water delivery right and decides to terminate 50 per cent, their termination fee would include 50 ML at the Tier 3 facilities charge and the remaining 100 ML would be at the Tier 2 facilities charge. If the irrigator terminates 100 per of their water delivery right, their termination fee would include 50 ML at the Tier 3 facilities charge, 200 ML at the Tier 2 facilities charge and the last 50 ML at the Tier 1 facilities charge. Casual usage charge MI imposes a casual usage charge for irrigators who use water above their water delivery right as well as the facilities charge at the relevant tier. For example an irrigator holding 250 ML of water delivery right and uses 251 ML, the last 1 ML will be charged the casual usage variable charge and the Tier 3 facilities charge. The ACCC’s analysis of casual usage charges includes the following charges for water use: within an irrigator’s water delivery right normal use usage charge an irrigator’s water delivery right causal use usage charge Tier 3 facilities charge The dollar per ML for usage within a water delivery right and dollar per ML for usage above water delivery right is presented in the table below.
