National Student Art Competition - RU OK?

 

Entry period extended until 31 July

Art has the power to start conversations that count. That's why we're calling on year 7 and 8 students across Australia to create an artwork that responds to the question:

What does an R U OK? conversation mean to you? 

Students are encouraged to respond to the brief in any way they like. It could: 

• Explore a time when a friend was there for you, or when you were there for them.
• Represent how a meaningful conversation makes you feel.
• Encourage others to check in with their mates.
• Provide ideas of how to support someone you care about. 

Enter now

What kind of artworks are allowed?

We're accepting drawings, paintings, or mixed media works, collages, photographs or digital artworks. Videos and three-dimensional sculptures will not be accepted. 

What are the prizes?

 

Five major prize winners (‘Creative Legends’) will receive an expenses paid trip to Sydney to attend the prize-giving event at the Art Gallery of NSW on 5 September 2024. 

The five Creative Legends will be selected from the 16 finalists (2 from each Australian state and territory) who will receive a certificate and a prize pack containing art supplies and R U OK? goodies. 

How do I enter?

The entry period has been extended and now closes at 5pm AEST on 31 July 2024. Entries must be submitted via the online form here.

WaterNSW Rural Bulk water - NSW IPART

 

 

 

 

WaterNSW rural bulk water

 

IPART has released its final decision on WaterNSW’s rural bulk water charges for the year 2024-25.

The annual review sets the maximum prices that WaterNSW can charge for rural bulk water services in the Murray-Darling Basin and Fish River Water Supply Scheme
in 2024-25.

IPART’s final decision is to maintain the charges set under the 2021 Determination. This means that increases in charges will be limited to inflation of 3.6% from 1 July 2024.

Solar feed-in tariff benchmarks

 

IPART published its solar feed-in tariff benchmarks for 2024-25.

The benchmarks provide a guide to consumers about the value of solar feed-in tariffs they can expect to be paid by their retailer.

From 1 July 2024, consumers can expect to receive a flat-rate solar feed-in tariff between 4.9 and 6.3 c/kWh for the solar energy they export to the grid.

We estimate the value of solar exports based on our forecast of the wholesale price of electricity at the times that solar electricity is exported to the grid.
