Councils have been under pressure to meet the September deadline for Water Services Delivery Plans and as part of that, finalise decisions about their future organisations – whether to form new Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs) either on their own or across regional boundaries, or go it alone and continue to provide services in house.
But whatever the decision, there won’t be a business as usual option.
New requirements around financial ring fencing, transparency, regulation and service delivery mean that they will be under scrutiny to meet new rules and standards.
In this latest podcast, hosts Jon Reed and Emily Afoa discuss the impact of the Local Water Done Well reforms with Water New Zealand chief executive Gillian Blythe and Nick Davis, an economist and partner with the advisory firm MartinJenkins.
