43586 (2025). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Local Government: Which councils, if any, did not meet the 3 September 2025 deadline for submitting their Water Service Delivery Plans, and what reasons have been provided for their delay?

Hon Simon Watts: I exercised my powers under section 19(3)(iv) of the Local Government (Water Services Preliminary Arrangements) Act 2024 to grant an extension to Tasman District Council to submit its water services delivery plan. The extension was due to the disruption caused by the June/July 2025 flood events.
