Irrigation Price Path
The Irrigation Price Path process for 2025-26 to 2028-29 has concluded. Final prices for the period have been set. This follows Sunwater’s submission to the Queensland Competition Authority (QCA) and QCA’s final recommendations to the Queensland Government. This page remains available to provide background information, customer engagement materials and access to final pricing documents.
Overview
Sunwater provides irrigation services to 26 price-regulated service contract areas in Queensland: 22 bulk water supply schemes and four distribution schemes.
The Queensland Government sets the prices of irrigation water supplied by Sunwater, based on recommendations made by the QCA. We are required to submit a proposal to assist QCA to set irrigation prices for the price path period.
