Your feedback will be handled internally by the Gascoyne Water General Manager and may be referred to the Board of Directors depending on the circumstances and level of authority required to reach an agreement/solution. Should you be of the opinion that you want feedback escalated straight to the Board of Directors you must indicate this at the time of submitting feedback.
After you have given us the opportunity to resolve any complaint you might have submitted, if you are still not satisfied with the outcome, you may refer to the member appointed Disputes Panel as outlined in the Rules (97 & 98). Lodge an application (written) stating that you would like your complaint to be referred to the Disputes Panel and send your application by mail/email as per above details. The Company Secretary will receive your application and arrange for the Panel to form a Committee to discuss and come to an agreement as to their recommendation to the Board. Currently the Disputes Panel consists of Two Directors and and five Members who are not Directors.
Please ensure your application fulfils the criteria listed at 98.7. Please bear in mind the powers conveyed to the Disputes Panel are relative in that they make a recommendation to the Board but do not have the power to make the final decision/action/etc. (See Rule 98.5). If you have any queries with relation to lodging an application for the Disputes Panel please do not hesitate to contact the Company Secretary.
(Please note the Disputes Panel recourse is not available to Coral Coast Water P/L customers). The Disputes Panel participants elected at the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Members are as follows: Al Holtham, Wayne Whitcroft, John Kearney, David Bumbak and Mark Bumbak. Two Directors will be appointed to the Disputes Panel by the Board should a Disputes Committee need to be formed to address a dispute.
