Breakfast with Three Waters National Transition Unit Director Heather Shotter

About

Join Executive Director of the Three Waters National Transition Unit, Heather Shotter as she discusses aging infrastructure, population growth, climate change, and natural disasters and how as professional consultants, we can be at the forefront of the Three Waters programme.

It’s estimated that between $120 and $185billion is required to maintain and improve our water infrastructure over the next 30 years. The level of investment needed in water infrastructure is out of reach of individual councils alone. Under the proposed changes, the responsibility for water services will shift from the 67 individual councils to four new water services entities. Establishing the entities creates the scale and structural change to enable the significant investment required. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a uniquely New Zealand world-class water system, putting Te Mana o Te Wai (the health and well-being of water) at the centre of how three waters services are delivered. 

You'll be able to choose between attending this event in person in Auckland, or online. 

It's a great opportunity to ask Heather any questions that are front of mind and to catch up with our industry professionals.
