We have been directed by the Queensland Government to review the irrigation pricing practices of Seqwater and Sunwater. The purpose of the review is to recommend irrigation prices to apply for the 4-year period from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2029.
We published the businesses’ pricing proposals on 1 December 2023 and held stakeholder workshops from mid-January to mid-February 2024. The workshop presentations and a summary of the issues raised at each workshop are provided below.
Stakeholder submissions on the businesses’ proposals and other issues considered relevant to our review were due on 29 February 2024. All the submissions we received are available below.
For more information about our review, please read the stakeholder notice and stakeholder guidance paper .
