New Zealand's Buller and Waikato District Councils may defer Long-Term Plan adoptions due to the government's water services policy changes.
New Zealand's Buller District Council may defer its Long-Term Plan (LTP) adoption due to the government's 'Local Water Done Well' initiative, which plans to repeal current water services laws by 2024. Waikato District Council is also considering pausing work on its 2024-2034 LTP due to financial planning challenges and significant policy changes. Both councils are seeking more time to engage with communities and understand funding and affordability issues.
