THREE WATERS - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Councils are providing further analysis to Central Government by September 30. This must include details of environmental impacts. Check out the image for the things our Councils are being asked to consider and give feedback
on.
*Again, we would like to emphasise the following:
We have not made any decisions yet
At this stage, we believe Councils can opt out of being part of the new entities but this hasn’t been confirmed. The 1 October date is not a deadline for making a decision.
We will still consult communities after this month's feedback period
Ever wondered what our staff are doing during lockdown? Well… we know what Captain Quintin has been doing….
THREE WATERS: WHAT'S THE LATEST?
We're stoked that Alert Level 3 meant we received our copy of the Wairarapa Midweek. Hopefully you received yours too and saw the updates the three Wairarapa Councils are providing with where we're at in the Three Waters Reforms process. We'll pop these updates on social media with the intention of letting you know all the aspects we are beings asked to consider, and providing updates as we get them. Keep an eye out tomorrow for the next update
Important things to note:
At this stage, we believe Councils can opt out of being part of the new entities but this hasn’t been confirmed. The 1 October date is not a deadline for making a decision. Councils are using this time to gather as much information from Central Government to better understand the long-term impacts these reforms will have on our communities.
We don’t know what DIA will be asking of Councils at the end of the six weeks, but we will be able to give our feedback and have a better understanding of when the Government will start its
community consultation.
Have you been wondering where you can go in Carterton to support local now we’re in Level 3? The team at CDC are regularly updating the page www.cdc.govt.nz/supportlocal to keep you up to date with where to shop in Carterton!
