The government is planning three major changes to the way councils across Aotearoa look and operate.
The Three Waters reform will put new Water Services Entities in charge of delivering of drinking water, stormwater and wastewater.
The Resource Management Act will be replaced with three new Acts that will manage decisions on what is built and where, on the management of the environment and the response to Climate Change.
The Future for Local Government Review will consider the roles and functions of councils and how they can be improved.
We’re studying the detail of these reforms as they come to hand, while staying focused on delivering great services for our residents.
Ko Tātou-Local Government New Zealand has more information on all the reforms.
