Irrigation price investigation 2025–29

Status
Past review

We have completed our review of the irrigation pricing practices of Seqwater and Sunwater. The purpose of the review was to recommend irrigation prices to apply for the 4-year period from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2029.

Our final reports and recommendations were provided to the Queensland Government on 31 January 2025 and published on 7 February 2025. We have also published scheme information sheets, which provide an overview of our recommendations for each scheme.

The government will consider our recommendations when it determines irrigation prices, but is not bound to accept our recommendations.
