The imposition of an annual operating charge on community groups who contribute tirelessly to vulnerable and socio-economically challenged communities in Manurewa creates an unnecessary burden and is both excessive and unfair j) request that the council’s policy staff respond to the local board’s issues and concerns expressed in i) above. |

Urgent decision: Manurewa Local Board feedback on the Three Waters reform proposal |
|
Resolution number MR/2021/179 MOVED by Member T Gorrie, seconded by Chairperson J Allan: That the Manurewa Local Board: a) note the urgent decision providing the local board’s input for inclusion in Auckland Council’s feedback on the Government’s Three Waters reform proposal as follows: i) need for three waters reform in New Zealand · The local board believes that more information is required to allow informed decision making in terms of transferring the council’s three waters responsibilities to the proposed new water entity. · The local board believes that Auckland’s water provider, Watercare, is well positioned for transition to any new structure that results from these reforms, as it is currently undertaking much of the work government has stated is required of the water industry. ii) proposed entity A (Auckland and Northland) · The board is not persuaded that the proposed integration of Watercare into a new super entity for Auckland and Northland will fairly allocate costs between customers. Auckland customers are required to pay a price for water and wastewater services that reflects the cost within the Auckland region. Without the stipulation that the costs lay where the costs fall, it is likely that Auckland customers will end up subsidising the capital cost (and presumably the future operating cost) of new assets (including treatment plants and transmission pipes) for Northland customers. This diminishes the value of price as an incentive to reduce demand for water and wastewater services via volumetric charging within a given region. · The board is of the view that the proposed transfer of assets represents government-mandated nationalisation without compensation. The new governance model requires Aucklanders to cede more than 90 per cent of assets (funded and paid for by Auckland customers over decades) to a new entity for which they will receive a small minority of the shareholding and no effective control of the asset management plan, the funding plan, or say over the way in which infrastructure integrates with planned land use and future development. iii) proposed governance and representation arrangements · The board understands that the proposed entity would be owned by local authorities. However, it is concerned that accountability to the local level would be reduced by transferring water responsibilities to the entity. · The board would like to see a mechanism that allows local input into the planning, strategy and price-setting processes. iv) integration of land-use/growth planning and water services · The board notes that the proposed entity does not have any direct relationship with land use planning and consenting processes. It is conceivable that a disconnect between land-use (regional councils) on one hand, and water and wastewater services (new entity) on the other will result in future developments going out of sequence and/or new assets being built only to become stranded if development is not timed to take up latent capacity of new plants and transmission pipes. v) environmental and/or economic regulation · The board believes that any government regulation should be accompanied with adequate funding rather than burdening ratepayers with the costs. |
