Past review
15/05/2012
We released our final report in May 2012. It detailed the results of our investigation, including recommended irrigation prices to apply from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2017 for water supply schemes managed by Sunwater.
The Treasurer and Minister for Trade and the Attorney General and Minister for Justice accepted without qualification the specific prices, fees and charges that we recommended.
In 2016, the government decided to extend the irrigation pricing policies by two years, until 30 June 2019.
We released our draft report in November 2011. It detailed the results of our investigation, including draft recommended irrigation prices to apply from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2017 for water supply schemes managed by Sunwater.
To ensure all stakeholders had adequate opportunity to identify and comment on relevant issues, we conducted an ongoing consultation program with customers of each relevant water supply scheme.
We commissioned independent consultants to prepare issues papers about aspects of irrigation pricing.
The Queensland Government directed us to recommend irrigation prices to apply to Sunwater’s 22 bulk water supply schemes and 8 distribution systems from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2017.
Sunwater’s prices for other customers, such as urban and industrial users, were not part of the QCA’s review.
The irrigation revenue earned by Sunwater in some schemes do not cover the cost of operating and maintaining irrigation assets. In these schemes, we could show the ‘cost-reflective’ price, but could only recommend prices that increased by up to $2/ML per year plus inflation.
