Abstract
Accordingly, since 1994, the private sector has been given a greater role in the delivery of services in Australia’s urban water sector in order to promote efficiency. Further, during the 2000's and in response to the Millennium Drought, six major desalination plants were built to create greater water security for cities. Each of these plants was delivered under a partnership agreement between the state governments and the private sector. Under the market-based governance reforms, it is not clear to what extent the outcome of decision-making processes in delivery of these expensive infrastructure projects is in the public interest. Therefore, using the Adelaide and Victorian Desalination Plants as case studies, this study empirically evaluates the extent to which the public interest has been considered in desalination delivery in Australia.
