On 30 October 2025, the Queensland Government directed us to investigate and report on appropriate prices for the irrigation services provided by Sunwater and Seqwater, derived using the regulatory asset base (RAB) approach. These prices are to be based on allowable costs that are consistent with our positions from the review of irrigation prices for 2025–26 to 2028–29, adjusted to reflect the use of the RAB approach for recovering renewals expenditure.
We published the businesses’ RAB-based proposals on 2 March 2026 and are now commencing our consultation process. To support stakeholders in preparing submissions, we have released a consultation paper outlining the key issues on which we are seeking stakeholder views.
We will also be holding workshops where there is sufficient interest – see this link for our draft schedule. Please register your interest in attending a workshop using the registration form or by calling (07) 3222 0555. The closing date for expressions of interest is 9 March 2026.
We invite stakeholders to provide written submissions by 30 March 2026. To make a submission, please use our online submission form.
