Colliers provided a range of values between $1,050 and $2,300 per megalitre and discussed factors that might shift the price. The price is particularly perplexing because EAA had originally offered to sell the water for $2,200 a ML plus $10m for water storage. She had carriage of this sale from start to finish. The government did not want the water storage, but in the course of negotiations the price for the water seems to have escalated, with the final price being $2,745 a ML. An investigation is now under way into that sale.
