- provide recommendations based on conclusions drawn from the Thiess Services Report;
- gain an understanding of Water Provider Industry’s perspective on the future metering and the future of the Dethridge meter;
- consult with other users of the Dethridge meter; and
- provide recommendations regarding the future use of the Dethridge meter by Goulburn-Murray Water.
