Report to Heretaunga Takoto Noa Māori Standing Committee
Nā: From: |
Carly Price, 3 Waters Transition Manager |
Te Take: Subject: |
3 Waters Transition Update |
1.0 Executive Summary – Te Kaupapa Me Te Whakarāpopototanga
1.1 The purpose of this update is to inform the Committee about continuing developments across the wider government 3 waters reform programme.
2.0 Recommendations - Ngā Tūtohunga That the Heretaunga Takoto Noa Māori Standing Committee receive the report titled 3 Waters Transition Update dated 24 August 2022.
|
3.0 Background – Te Horopaki
3.1 The 3 Waters reform programme being delivered by central government is progressing and due for completion in 2024. This involves moving staff and assets from councils to 4 water services entities which will be co-governed by mana whenua and councils, and administered by professional boards and executive teams. The transition from the status quo to the 4 entities is a complex process with many parties involved, the following sections cover recent activity by party, and the following table provides significant milestones.
Milestone |
Expected Date |
New standards come into effect for registered and new supplies |
14 November 2022 |
Drinking Water Safety Plans due for registered and new supplies |
15 November 2022 |
Passing of Water Services Entity Bill #1 |
Possibly November 2022 |
Release of Water Services Entity Bill #2 |
Late 2022 |
Passing of Water Services Entity Bill #2 |
June 2023 |
Entity C provides water services (Day 1) |
1 July 2024 |
All existing water supplies must be registered |
November 2025 |
All supplies registered by 2025 must be compliant with standards and have Drinking Water Safety Plans in place |
November 2028 |
3.2 The reforms will impact how water is managed in marae and papakainga water supplies:
· Taumata Arowai (TA), the new water regulator, recently released a suite of new regulations, including new Drinking Water Standards, Aesthetic Values and also Assurance Rules. (https://www.taumataarowai.govt.nz/for-water-suppliers/new-compliance-rules-and-standards/ ). Water Supplies are also required to have a Drinking Water Safety Plan in place (https://www.taumataarowai.govt.nz/for-water-suppliers/drinking-water-safety-planning/ )
· Supplies that are already registered have to comply with these requirements before the end of the year, but what is not as well known is that new supplies are required to register and comply with the requirements from the start. Many existing supplies that are not registered only have to register by November 2025 start complying from November 2028.
· There are different requirements for monitoring and treatment according to how many people are supplied: i.e.
- If a network (not a single building) supplies fewer than 25 people (or up to 50 people for up to 60 days in a year), the water supplier is only required to monitor for E.coli every 6 months with an accredited laboratory.
- If a network supplies 26-100 people, the water supplier has number of monitoring and inspection requirements, and also must filter the water with a cartridge filter system and disinfect the water with a certified UV unit. Water supplies that source the water from bore that is deeper than 30m do not have to filter the water, only disinfect with UV, if they meet certain criteria.
- There are also rules and requirements for supplies where the number of people vary (e.g. higher usage over summer), and requirements temporary / event type water supplies.
· All supplies (except single building supplies) are required to develop a Drinking Water Safety Plan, unless they use an Acceptable Solution. Acceptable Solutions are ready-made options for meeting compliance obligations and are a technical solution that prescribes the treatment options. TA is yet to release the Acceptable Solutions, but have consulted on draft Acceptable Solutions for roof water, spring and bore water, and rural agricultural supplies. We expect the final Acceptable Solutions will be released in August 2022.
3.3 Review of Marae and Rural Hall water supplies. As previously discussed, where a supplier accepts the offer) of water (and wastewater) supplies for Marae and Rural Halls will be completed by the end of 2022. The timeframe to spend government funding for this was extended to the end of 2022, this has enabled us to delay the work to provide more certainty of the requirements of the new drinking water standards. The opportunity and discussions on this offer to Marae and Halls will occur in coming months. The Pou Ahurea team are assisting the Asset Management team and the consultants WSP to complete this work. The available funding is not intended to cover any physical works, instead his assessment will help build understand and awareness and is intended to support potential future funding requests to government for identified upgrade requirements.

Report to Heretaunga Takoto Noa Māori Standing Committee
Nā: From: |
Marius van Niekerk, Transportation Asset Manager |
Te Take: Subject: |
Hastings Transport Network Resilience |
1.0 Purpose and summary - Te Kaupapa Me Te Whakarāpopototanga
1.1 The purpose of this report is to inform the committee about the work being done on the resilience business case for the Hastings District Council (HDC) transport network, the findings to date and request feedback that will inform the shaping of the business case.
1.2 Hastings District Council (HDC) maintains 1652 km of local roads. The network of roads is essential for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods through and around the district.
· The network is susceptible to weather and natural hazard events such as heavy rain, high winds, and extreme temperatures with broad impacts on the network, affecting access for communities and business and may cause significant infrastructure damage.
· Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of these events
1.3 HDC is developing a Programme Business Case with the aim of confirming the appropriate level of investment and actions that HDC can take to improve the resilience and management of the transport network when these events occur
· Actions arising from the business case are yet to be defined but will include maintenance, renewals, and more targeted studies to inform larger scale improvements and investment for particular corridors or locations.
1.4 We would appreciate your feedback on the information provided in this summary report, the following questions could be considered in your feedback.
1.4.1 How has transport system resilience impacted you, your business or your community in the past and how has this changed over time?
1.4.2 Some locations have been identified as vulnerable to damage and closures in this summary report. In your experience, are these locations correct and are there any other locations where you find transport system resilience impacts you, your business or your community?
1.4.3 How much of a priority should HDC consider transport system resilience in regard to level of investment, where this may come at the expense of other Council priorities?
