Irrigation Price Path

Overview

Sunwater provides irrigation services across 26 price-regulated service contract areas in Queensland: 22 bulk water supply schemes and four distribution schemes. 

We are required to submit a proposal that will assist the QCA to set irrigation prices for the upcoming price path period. The proposal represents an integrated view of Sunwater’s proposed services, expenditure levels and irrigation prices for each service contract area.

The QCA will review this proposal in line with its requirements under the Queensland Competition Authority Act 1997 and any conditions set out in a Referral Notice, before making a recommendation back to the Queensland Government.
