South Wairarapa District Councillors have filed a submission with Parliament’s Finance and Expenditure committee on the Water Services Entities Bill, the first stage of the Three Waters reform proposals.

The submission reflects the thinking of Councillors, the information they have been provided, and the conversations they have had with some community stakeholders and residents. It also notes Council’s limitations as a small Council to engage deeply with its communities on issues outside its legislative requirements. Residents have shared their thoughts with Councillors individually, through Council meetings, the annual plan process, and social media.
