Review of RAB-based irrigation prices 2027–29

Status
Past review

We have completed our review of irrigation prices for Sunwater and Seqwater for 2027–28 and 2028–29 using a regulatory asset base (RAB) approach. These prices are based on allowable costs that are consistent with our positions from the review of irrigation prices for 2025–26 to 2028–29, subject to the adjustments required by the direction notice, including those associated with applying a RAB approach.

We provided our final reports to the government on 30 September 2026. We have published the final reports, together with the scheme information sheets that summarise our findings for each scheme.

This review will inform the government’s decision on irrigation prices that will apply from 1 July 2027.
