5995 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Local Government: What are the projected water services charges as a percentage of median household income at the start and end of the plan period under accepted Water Services Delivery Plans, broken down by council?

Hon Simon Watts: Corrected reply: Information and metrics from accepted council Water Services Delivery Plans (plans) and the associated Assessment Reports completed by officials are publicly available to view on the Department of Internal Affairs’ website here: www.dia.govt.nz/Water-Services-Policy-Water-Services-Delivery-Plans I am advised that compiling and collating the information at the level of specificity requested in the members question beyond what is already publicly available would require considerable time and resources, and I do not consider this to be in the public interest
