Memorandum of Understanding

The Council, along with all councils nationwide, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Government in August 2020, committing to the first stage of the Three Waters Reform programme.

This stated that we were willing to explore different ways of delivering water services. However, signing the MOU did not commit the Council to anything beyond stage one, or to opt-in to the reform process.

In return, the Council received an $8 million share of a stimulus package which was used to upgrade water and wastewater services across the District.

This consultation about the Government's Proposed Three Waters Reform has now finished. The Council will now consider all feedback before reporting back to the Government at the end of September. Thanks for participating.
