ACT's alternative water infrastructure plan, which we have proposed to the 67 territorial authorities, local councils, and the 12 regional councils—many of whom replied back saying, "Thank you, ACT. We appreciate your constructive proposals. We support much of what you proposed."—would do the following. We would provide for councils to enter voluntary shared services agreements between councils, local councils, and regional councils, to achieve the benefits of scale, while retaining local ownership and control. Councils like Auckland and Waikato District Council already do this. They share a geographic boundary and they also share water infrastructure. It makes sense for them to enter into voluntary shared services agreements. This legislation doesn't do that.
