ACT says New Zealanders deserve to be heard, and ACT has listened. That's why ACT would repeal the three waters legislation and we would return these assets to local community ownership. We would also ask councils to enter into voluntary shared services agreements to get the benefit of scale when it comes to procurement, design, and delivery. ACT would allow councils, the regions, and local and central government to establish long-term, 30-year partnerships to prioritise the infrastructure based on where the regions say it's needed, not centralised bureaucracies. We would allow for public-private partnerships to draw in that extra funding needed. KiwiSaver, iwi organisations, and ACC all want to participate. We'd expand the exemption from domestic supplies so that up to 30 water users could be free of these regulations. ACT's plan would deliver the funding, the infrastructure, but without the division and the distrust.
