Three Waters Economic Regulation Submission
|
|
|
Resolution
number MO/2021/161
MOVED by Chairperson L Sosene, seconded by Member C
O'Brien:
That
the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu
Local Board:
a) provide
the following feedback for inclusion in Auckland Council’s submission
on the Economic Regulation and Consumer Protection for Three Waters Services
in New Zealand discussion paper
i)
support in principle the
Three Waters Economic Regulation intentions to appoint a new economic
regulator of water to protect consumers from potential price-gouging and
high-cost behaviour flowing from its proposed new water entities
ii)
note that: while
the governance arrangements and consumer engagement requirements will ensure
that consumer voices are heard by the entities, the scale of the entities and
the absence of competition means there are still significant risks that the
entities do not act in the long-term interests of consumers, and need a regulator
that would act on behalf of consumers who will buy water services from
monopoly providers
iii)
continue to support
Auckland Council’s position on this matter and objection to some parts
of the 3 Waters Reform placed on all 67 territorial authorities in New
Zealand
iv)
continue to request
from central government the precise nature of both council ownership and
control in the new system which is still currently unclear.
