Energy Minister Dr Anthony Lynham<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 29, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Irrigation pricing in Queensland is to be reviewed by the independent economic regulator, the Queensland Competition Authority, but the review won’t affect pricing structures for 2019.<\/p>\n

Natural Resources Minister Dr Anthony Lynham said on Monday a comprehensive study by the QCA would underpin the irrigation pricing structures for the years 2020-24.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal is for irrigators to have greater pricing certainty, simplicity and transparency to allow them to plan for future years,\u2019\u2019 Dr Lynham said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of the review process, extensive consultation will be undertaken with stakeholders and water users to ensure we strike the right balance between the interests of customers and businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe QCA will\u00a0be required to limit annual price increases\u00a0similar to previous reviews.<\/p>\n

\u201cI encourage all SunWater and Seqwater irrigation customers to get involved in the QCA consultation process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more customers that participate in the process – the more informed the Government will be when it is time to consider the QCA recommendations and lock in irrigation prices in 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prices in place for 2018-19 will be adjusted for another year in line with past price path arrangements.<\/p>\n

The State Government will begin its consideration of future prices with the release of the QCA\u2019s draft report in August 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
