Irrigation price investigation 2025–29

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.

After extensive consultation with stakeholders, we published our draft reports on 5 July 2024. We have also published scheme information sheets that provide an overview of our draft findings for each scheme.

We will now start consulting on the draft reports by holding stakeholder workshops and inviting submissions.

Stakeholder workshops – July/August 2024

We plan to hold workshops (in-person and online) from late July. We have published a draft workshop schedule, which is available here. The schedule may change, as we only intend to hold workshops in locations with sufficient stakeholder interest.

To ensure that workshops proceed in your preferred location, please register your interest in attending a workshop here or by calling 07 3222 0555. Registrations close on 22 July 2024.

Once workshop locations are confirmed, we will provide further information to those that have registered.

Submissions invited by 16 September 2024

We invite stakeholders to make submissions on the draft reports by 16 September 2024.

Submissions do not necessarily need to be detailed or comprehensive – brief comments on specific issues are welcome. We also welcome collaboration between stakeholders to provide joint submissions. Wherever possible, stakeholders should provide evidence to support their statements.
