QTPA Member Alert | Queensland Competition Authority – Updated Timelines – Seqwater Irrigation Price Review 2013-17 (29/11/2012)

Queensland Competition Authority – Updated Timelines – Seqwater Irrigation Price Review 2013-17

The due date of the release of the Draft Report has been revised from 30 November 2012 to 21 December 2012.

The delay in the release of the Draft Report is due to the time needed by Seqwater to respond to the Queensland Government’s recent decision relating to bulk water cost savings (relating primarily to bulk urban water, but with material implications for irrigators).

As a result, Seqwater resubmitted its irrigation costs to the Queensland Competition Authority on 5 November 2012, making it difficult to complete the Draft Report by the due date of 30 November 2012.  Copies are available on the Authority’s website: http://www.qca.org.au/water/SEQIrrigPrices/Subtodate.php.

As a consequence, the Authority now also proposes that stakeholder consultation on the Draft Report be conducted from 21-30 January 2013 (rather than during December 2012 as initially planned).

The current proposed dates for scheme meetings are as follows:

  • Logan River WSS – 21 January 2013
  • Warrill Valley WSS – 21 January 2013
  • Central Lockyer Valley WSS and Morton Vale Pipeline – 23 January 2013
  • Central Brisbane River WSS – 24 January 2013
  • Lower Lockyer Valley WSS – 24 January 2013
  • Cedar Pocket Dam WSS –  29 January 2013
  • Mary Valley WSS and Pie Creek – 30 January 2013

Notification of venues and times (and any necessary changes to these dates) will be provided closer to the time.

To allow stakeholders sufficient time to prepare their comments, submissions on the Draft Report will now be due on 22 February 2013.

Jim Vaughan, CEO Turf Queensland
