7596 (2026). Lan Pham to the Minister of Finance: What advice (if any), listed by title and date, was provided by Treasury about the impacts of preventing water service providers from considering a property’s rateable value when setting water charges, as per s86(6)(b) of the Local Government (Water Services) Act 2025?

Hon Nicola Willis: The Treasury publishes a monthly list of titles and dates of advice to Ministers, by the middle of the month after the advice is provided. I refer the member to that list, which can be found here: https://www.treasury.govt.nz/publications/budgets/titles-advice-ministers.
