Regulated Asset Base (RAB)

Overview

In mid-2025, the Queensland Government set irrigation prices for 2025-26 and 2026-27. However, it postponed setting prices for 2027-28 and 2028-29 while it further considered a regulated asset base (RAB) methodology for renewals recovery. A review into RAB has now begun.

Sunwater submitted a proposal to QCA in February 2026. This will inform irrigation prices for the period from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2029.
