Let's chat about our future water services
Your Water. Your Decision.

What is Local Water Done Well?

Local Water Done Well is the Government’s plan to address long-standing problems it sees with water services. This plan keeps water assets locally owned and recognises the importance of local decision making, so that communities and councils have the flexibility to choose the best way to deliver their water services.

The Government is putting a strong emphasis on keeping water services financially separate from other local services, and on economic regulation of water service providers to ensure they are efficient and charging fair prices. It is also strongly emphasising environmental and water-quality requirements through ongoing quality regulation.
