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 four-year period from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2029.

We published the businesses’ pricing proposals on 1 December 2023, and are now starting our consultation process, beginning with stakeholder workshops.

Stakeholder workshops – January/February 2024

We plan to hold workshops between 22 January and 14 February 2024. We will hold workshops in locations where there is sufficient interest from stakeholders.

The purpose of the workshops is to understand the issues of importance to customers and other stakeholders, and to provide information to facilitate submissions. We will also get the businesses to present the key points from their proposals. The workshops will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to share their views and ask questions.

Please register your interest in attending a workshop here or by calling (07) 3222 0555. The closing date for expressions of interest is 18 December 2023.

Once workshop locations are confirmed, we will provide further details about venues, dates and times.

Submissions invited by 29 February 2024

We invite stakeholders to make submissions on the businesses’ proposals and any other issues considered relevant to our review by 29 February 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. Where possible, stakeholders should provide evidence to support their statements.

For more information about our review and how to make a submission, please read the stakeholder notice and stakeholder guidance paper.
