Business Summary
We also provide essential flood mitigation, irrigation services to 1,200 rural customers in 7 water supply schemes and manage recreational areas visited by 2 million people a year.
We are one of Australia's largest water businesses, with the most geographically spread and diverse asset base of any capital water authority. Our operations extend from Gympie to the New South Wales border, and west to the base of the Toowoomba ranges.
We manage $10.8 billion of water supply assets and natural catchments of the region's major water supply sources, including dams/weirs, water treatment plants and climate-resilient water sources like the Gold Coast Desalination Plant and Western Corridor Recycled Water Scheme.
Seqwater was formed on 1 January 2013 through a merger of 3 state-owned water businesses, SEQ Water Grid Manager, LinkWater and former Seqwater. We also assumed responsibilities undertaken by Qld Water Commission, such as the long term planning of the region's future water needs.
