Long-term (10–15 yr) utility contracts locked owners into high tariffs and murky terms. From 1 July 2025, NSW caps new and renewal embedded network contract terms at 3 years and forces new crystal clear disclosure requirements. Transparency wins; “set-and-forget” loses.

Lot owner vendors – Must disclose embedded network details in sale contracts or buyers can rescind.
