Where's it @ Rangitikei - Three Waters

The National Government, elected in October 2023, announced a new direction for water services and is currently enacting legislation to repeal what the Labour Government had put in place for the Three Waters, and return responsibility to councils.

As the Government have signalled a restoration of council ownership and control of water assets, budget for delivering Council’s three water services is included in our 2024-34 Long Term Plan budgets.

There's still some unknowns at this stage and until we have some certainty from the government, we've had to make assumptions when it comes to our expenditure.

Here's what we have budgeted for three waters projects and maintenance over the next ten years.
