GAWB price monitoring 2025–30

On 14 December 2023, the Queensland Government directed us to conduct a price monitoring investigation of GAWB’s bulk water supply activities from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2030 (the price monitoring period). On 23 May 2024, the direction was amended to exclude the consideration of the Fitzroy to Gladstone pipeline from our investigation.

In May 2025, we published our final report that set out our findings on GAWB’s appropriate prices for its bulk water services and explained how we arrived at them.

On 16 June 2025, the Queensland Government directed us to conduct a price monitoring investigation of GAWB’s bulk water supply activities relating to water security assets (including the Fitzroy to Gladstone pipeline) from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2030. We published our final report on GAWB’s water security assets on 8 May 2026.

All notices, reports and public submissions received to date are available below.

Our next task will be to prepare a mid-term report by 31 October 2028. This report will compare our indicative prices with the prices that GAWB actually charged during the period 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2028, and identify the reasons for any differences.
