QCA SUNWATER IRRIGATION PRICE REVIEW SUBMISSION

On 29th October 2018 the Queensland Competition Authority (QCA) received a Referral and Direction Notice from the Qld Treasurer, Jacki Trad, for an investigation about the pricing practices of Sunwater and Seqwater in relation to rural irrigation prices to apply from 1st July 2020 to 30th June 2024.

To commence the review the QCA sought submissions from both businesses, followed by a series of public consultation meetings throughout the state attended by stakeholders, local water boards and growers. QCA is to provide a draft report to Qld State Government by 31st August 2019 which will then be followed by a further round of public consultations. Stakeholders response to, in KCGO’s case, Sunwater’s submission were to be lodged by 8th March 2019.

KCGO lodged a submission on behalf of members last Friday, a copy of which follows for your information.
