The Local Government (Water Services) Act 2025 came into force on 27 August 2025 introducing new ways for Māori landowners to take action around water service matters affecting whenua Māori. These include appealing decisions that allow water service providers to enter Māori land to do their work, and applying for charging orders if landowners have paid more than their share of water services charges on Māori freehold land held in multiple ownership.
If a water service provider asks for the landowner’s permission to enter the whenua and there is a disagreement, the provider and landowners go through an internal review process try and find a solution.
