PURPOSE OF SUBMISSION This submission proposes that a dam recently constructed on the site of Lake Dyer near Laidley be named Bill Gunn Dam. 2 • BACKG ROUND a 0 0 The Lockyer Valley is o ne of Queensland's major vegetable 0.... producing areas a nd is dependent on irrigated production on the alluvial soils . Development of the Valley has stressed the available water resources which are mostly derived from underground aquifers. In order to alluviate the situation, a number of recharge weirs have been constructed. An offstream storage has been constructed on the site of the existing Lake Dyer and another offstream storage is proposed at Lake Clarendon. Both storages will be operated in conjunction with the aquifers to improve the availability of irrigation supplies and thus stabilise irrigated production from the area. 3. PROPOSED NAME OF DAM While no change is proposed to the name Lake Dyer, it is proposed that the structure be named Bill Gunn Dam. The Honourable William Angus Manson Gunn is a Member of the Legislative Assembly where he represents the electorate of Somerset. He is currently Deputy Premier, Minister for Public Works, Main Roads and Expo and Minister for Police. On a number of occasions he has acted as Minister for Water Resources and Mari time Services. Prior to his election to the Legislative Assembly, he was a member of the Laidley Shire Council, serving as its Chairman. Mr. Gunn has long displayed an interest in Water Resources, particularly in those of the Lockye r Valley. He has also been a staunch supporter of irrigated agriculture. RECOMMENDATION In view of Mr. Gunn's long and distinguishe d public service to the State of Queensland in general and the Lockyer Valley in particular, it is recommended that the d a m recently constructed near Laidley at Lake Dy e r be named Bill Gunn Dam.

QCA Question 1 - Cedar Pocket Stakeholders (Issues Arising (IA) Cedar Pocket 2012) submitted that more details were required regarding Seqwater’s proposed renewals expenditure [outlined in the NSP] on “electricity supply assets” in 2025-26 at $30,000. Please provide more details regarding this proposed expenditure. Seqwater Response to Item 1 The Assets in question are a property pole, meter box (excluding the meters), cabling and a distribution board. The renewal is scheduled based on the Seqwater “standard asset life” of 20 years for this type of equipment. It was installed in 2005 and will be 20 years old when the work is scheduled. The cost estimate is drawn from the estimated replacement costs as set out in Section 5.2.2 and Section 9 of the Irrigation Infrastructure Renewal Projections - 2013/14 to 2046/47 Report on Methodology. The renewal timing, will be reviewed on an ongoing basis so that it is only delivered when condition warrants. The scope and cost estimate will be reviewed prior to commencement of work to ensure the delivery is efficient.

Box 77 Gatton Qld 4343 Chair Queensland Competition Authority GPO Box 2257 Brisbane Qld 4001 28th November 2018 Dear Sir, RE: CENTRAL AND LOWER LOCK.YER IRRIGATORS SUBMISSION UNDER SECTION 23 OF THE QUEENSLAND COMPETITION AUTHORITY ACT 1997 PRICE PATH PERIOD 2020-2024 This submission is on behalf of the Lockyer Valley Irrigators in the following water supply schemes constructed and owned by the State of Queensland and operated by SEQW being: • Atkinson Dam • Lake Clarendon • Mortonvale Pipeline • Bill Gunn Dam This submission is in regard to the yet to be introduced 4 year price path (2020 - 2024) and seeks to address maters of fact in the continual underlying poor performance of the schemes and argues that new policy is required when formulating a price path for schemes that will never be able to reach cost recovery or breakeven. Lockyer Valley Irrigators will also be providing a response when the Commission calls for submissions on the SEQW prici,ng proposals for the four years from July 2019 Current Situation: SEQW has advised customers under the pricing principles expected to be implemented by the QCA that the next price path will include the introduction of Part A (fixed cost) and Part B (variable cost) groundwater pricing for Central Lockyer Water Supply Schemes and that will result in the water charges being split at 95% Part A and 5% Part B. Mortonvale Pipeline Users will in addition pay Part C and Part D charges on the pipeline. The introduction of fixed Part A charges will occur with the introduction of water allocations in the Central Lockyer.

    SEQWATER’S 17 AUGUST SUBMISSION / RESPONSE TO QCA REQUEST OF 10 AUGUST 10 August 2012 The Authority provides, herewith, another formal (consolidated) information request to Seqwater. [Questions outlined below prior to Seqwater responses.] A response would be appreciated by Friday 17 August 2012. From: Colin Nicolson Sent: Friday, 17 August 2012 11:30 AM To: Angus MacDonald Cc: Matt Bradbury Subject: NEW DATA REQUEST 10 AUGUST 2012 Angus Here are our responses to the data request and supplementary data request (addendum) of 10 August 2012. QCA Question 1 Past Renewals Data We have been reviewing the past renewals data prepared by The Indec. Some of the items, appear to be more closely related to operational activities. The definition used to determine the capex/opex split endorsed in the 2006 SunWater review (with see refer Tier 1 Working Paper 10) is as follows: “Based on industry best practice, expenditures related to standard operating activities and other expenditures more closely aligned to corrective and preventative maintenance activities have been reclassified out of the refurbishment [renewals] database and into the general operating and maintenance budgets [opex].” a) In relation to the above definition, where relevant, please clarify the exact nature of each of the following types of expenditure [as per your headings and data provided to us]: • “Recreation Maintenance • Infrastructure Maint - Reactive Maint • Infrastructure Maint - Scheduled Maint • Dam Ops - irrigation schemes • Operational Maintenance Services.” b) Also, there appear to be some flood damage repair costs included in past renewal expenditure. Refer Atkinson Dam Flood Renewal (Lower Lockyer Valley WSS). Your main submission indicates that Seqwater does not intend to recover flood damage costs.

  • An Economic Assessment of the Value of Recreational Angling at Queensland Dams Involved in the Stocked Impoundment Permit Scheme
    An economic assessment of the value of recreational angling at Queensland dams involved in the Stocked Impoundment Permit Scheme Daniel Gregg and John Rolfe Value of recreational angling in the Queensland SIP scheme Publication Date: 2013 Produced by: Environmental Economics Programme Centre for Environmental Management Location: CQUniversity Australia Bruce Highway North Rockhampton 4702 Contact Details: Professor John Rolfe +61 7 49232 2132 [email protected] www.cem.cqu.edu.au 1 Value of recreational angling in the Queensland SIP scheme Executive Summary Recreational fishing at Stocked Impoundment Permit (SIP) dams in Queensland generates economic impacts on regional economies and provides direct recreation benefits to users. As these benefits are not directly traded in markets, specialist non-market valuation techniques such as the Travel Cost Method are required to estimate values. Data for this study has been collected in two ways in 2012 and early 2013. First, an onsite survey has been conducted at six dams in Queensland, with 804 anglers interviewed in total on their trip and fishing experiences. Second, an online survey has been offered to all anglers purchasing a SIP licence, with 219 responses being collected. The data identifies that there are substantial visit rates across a number of dams in Queensland. For the 31 dams where data was available for this study, recreational anglers purchasing SIP licences have spent an estimated 272,305 days fishing at the dams, spending an average 2.43 days per trip on 2.15 trips per year to spend 4.36 days fishing per angler group. Within those dams there is substantial variation in total fishing effort, with Somerset, Tinaroo, Wivenhoe and North Pine Dam generating more than 20,000 visits per annum.
