Alex Walker: Central Hawke's Bay Mayor says new water infrastructure legislation could help get things off the ground of a regional model - Early Edition on Newstalk ZB

Councils may continue to join forces to tackle infrastructure around three waters. 

The Government's confirmed its plan to repeal and replace the controversial legislation. 

It will introduce bills that attempt to make it easier for councils to determine their own water strategy, including making it easier to set up council-controlled organisations. 

Central Hawke's Bay Mayor Alex Walker told Mike Hosking that it makes sense for Hawke's Bay, as a region, to work together. 

She says communities are socially and economically connected, and this legislation could help get things off the ground for a regional model.
