This Act provided it with an autonomous form of management separated from the executive government. The Commission was to manage the existing works and also to control the waters of the state. During 1987 the Hydro-electric Commission became the subject of major structural and operational changes. In July legislation was passed to give the Commission a more flexible and up-to-date corporate structure, and to expand its activities to allow utilisation of its skills and expertise while continuing its primary objective of generating and supplying electricity. The legislation provided for the creation of a separate trading entity called the Hydro-Electric Commission Enterprises Corporation. The corporation would enable the Commission to tender for work both in and out of the state not presently undertaken by Tasmanian firms, thus diversifying and making use of its technical expertise. The legislation also altered the executive of the Commission, changing the structure from one commissioner and four associate commissioners to a total of six commissioners, with one being appointed as General Manager and one as Chairman.
