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 consulting with stakeholders. To support stakeholders in preparing submissions, we have released a consultation paper outlining the key issues on which we are seeking stakeholder views.
We have held stakeholder workshops in various locations. The workshop presentations and summaries of key issues raised at each workshop are provided below.
We have also scheduled an additional online workshop on 26 March 2026 at 4pm. If you would like to attend, please register using the registration form or by calling the QCA on 07 3222 0555.
We have extended the due date for written submissions to 7 April 2026. To make a submission, please use our online submission form.
