Hon NANAIA MAHUTA: Thank you for the question, and can I just draw the attention of the House again to the helpful recommendations of the governance working group, who suggested that included under the regional reference group, each entity can establish sub-regional groups that will bring in local decision-making and set local priorities in such a way that that can be reflected through the water service entity by way of investment prioritisation methodology and frameworks set by the water service entity and included within the context of the statement of strategic and performance expectation, the statement of intent, asset management plans, funding and pricing plans, and the overall infrastructure strategy for that region. It will assure small communities that their priorities not only are being listened to but are being planned for.
