  • 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.

  • Seqwater's and MBRI's Joint Submission
    Seqwater and Mid-Brisbane River Irrigators joint submission to draft report Introduction In response to section 6.4 of the “Draft report Rural irrigation price review 2020-24, Part C: Seqwater”, Seqwater and the Mid-Brisbane River Irrigators (MBRI) jointly submit herewith additional information, explanations and arguments further supporting the claims made in the earlier joint submission and the report by SLR consulting1. In support of the information provided below, Seqwater and MBRI attach to this joint submission: a technical response to the Water Solutions2 report prepared by SLR Consulting 3 a review prepared by Badu Advisory of Water Solutions’ application of the HUF methodology to the Central Brisbane Water Supply Scheme (WSS) 4 a desktop review prepared by Badu Advisory of considerations relevant to the determination of a HUF in the Central Brisbane WSS and selected other schemes within Queensland. 5 The MBRI has made a separate submission addressing matters of wider concern on behalf of its membership. Differentiating the concepts of supplemented water and hydrologic benefit Seqwater and MBRI submit that while medium priority water allocations in the Central Brisbane River WSS fall under the definition of "supplemented water” under the Moreton Water Plan (2007), it does not necessarily follow that they are actually wholly supplied by infrastructure within the scheme. Supplemented water is defined in the Moreton Water Plan (2007) as meaning “surface water supplied under an interim resource operations licence, resource operations licence or other authority to operate water infrastructure”. 6 The definition of supplemented water in the water plan does not mean that water must be supplied from water infrastructure in order for surface water to be deemed as supplemented7.
