Explanatory note
This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Local Government (Auckland Law Reform) Bill. Most of the amendments are of a minor, typographical, or technical nature (for example, cross-references and inconsistencies in language within the Bill are corrected). In addition, there are some more substantial amendments, including the amendments discussed in the following paragraphs.
New section 49 in clause 45 sets out the obligations of Auckland water organisations. This includes the obligation to manage its operations efficiently with a view to keeping the overall costs of water supply and wastewater services at the minimum levels consistent with the effective conduct of its undertakings and the maintenance of the long-term integrity of its assets. The amendment to this clause clarifies that this obligation is in relation to its customers (collectively).
Clause 138(1) of the Bill amends, repeals, and revokes certain enactments in the manner indicated in Schedule 3. The repeal of the Auckland Aotea Centre Empowering Act 1985 (L) is now included in that schedule.
