Securing our water together
About the Queensland Water Commission
The Queensland Water Commission is an independent, statutory authority responsible for achieving safe, secure and sustainable water supplies in South East Queensland and other designated regions.
Our role is to ensure sustainable water supplies by developing long term water supply strategies, establishing a regional water grid, implementing water restrictions, managing water demand, providing advice to government and reforming the water industry.
We operate under a legislative framework defined in the Water Act 2000. We work with a number of partners including government departments, agencies and water service providers.
The Commission is led by:
- Elizabeth Nosworthy AO, Chair of the Commission;
- Jamie Quinn, Commissioner;
- David Green, Commissioner;
- John Bradley, CEO.
