About this event
Overview
This three-part series is the essential guide to the water reforms. Attendees will get an understanding of what’s in the three Bills (and perhaps just as importantly what isn't) and what’s coming next.
This webinar series is in three parts, and topics for discussion include:
- Part One: The legislative plan for Three Waters, what happened to the Water Services Entities Bill, rural supplies, planning, stormwater
24 January 2023 | 10.00am to 11.30am - Part Two: The Water Services Entities Bill – powers and duties, pricing/funding, bylaws, customer relations, transition, what happens to the LGA
25 January 2023 | 10.00am to 11.30am - Part Three – the Economic/Consumer Protection Regulation Bill
26 January 2023 | 10.00am to 11.30am
These dates are subject to the progression of the Water Services Entities Bill through Parliament and could be subject to change.
Who should attend?
Chief executives, asset managers, policy staff, lawyers, and anyone else who wants to understand how this legislation affects them and their council.
Elected members are welcome.

Registration is open only to local authorities and council organisations.
