Valuation of SEQ water assets finalised

The valuation of South-East Queensland water assets has been undertaken with Treasurer Andrew Fraser announcing a $1.9 billion compensation package.

The restructure deals with approximately 18 per cent of total water assets owned by councils, the other 82 per cent of water businesses will be retained by councils.

Mr Fraser said the State Government has made a major concession to accommodate Councils' position on the compensation package, of which full compensation for tax equivalent revenue was being sought by councils.

For more information, view the Treasurer's media statement.
