The Victorian Government's Competitive Neutrality Policy was released in October 2000.  The competitive neutrality policy is designed to improve economic efficiency by removing any unfair competitive advantages or disadvantages for publicly owned entities engaged in significant business activities.

This report has been prepared to assess whether Sustainability Victoria’s current cost recovery model for FirstRate5 properly takes into account the Victorian Government’s Competitive Neutrality Policy.

As part of developing this report, Pitcher Partners Consulting (PPC) also developed a Competitively Neutral Cost Model that will assist Sustainability Victoria to achieve its cost recovery objectives and assess ongoing compliance with the Competitive Neutrality policy as circumstances change.
