The Queensland Water Commission (QWC) is a defunct Queensland Government agency established to develop long term water supply strategies.[1] The Commission was chaired by Mary Boydell and the chief executive officer was John Bradley.
As part of 50-year South East Queensland water strategy the QWC recommended that the Government of Queensland focus on recycled water projects, rather than desalination plants, because desalination plants are too energy intensive and recycled water provides supply regardless of changes in climate.[2]
On 1 January 2013, the Queensland Water Commission ceased operations. Policy-making functions of the Commission were assumed by the Queensland Department of Energy and Water Supply and its planning and regulatory functions became the responsibility of Seqwater.[3]
