The Water Services Entities Bill is the first in a suite of legislation to enact the Three Waters reforms. Click here to read the Bill.

It sets out the ownership, governance, and accountability arrangements relating to these entities and includes essential provisions for ongoing public ownership and consumer engagement. It also includes safeguards against future privatisation.

The Bill sets out the geographical boundaries of the service delivery area for each of the four entities and provides for transitional arrangements to enable the transition and establishment activities needed to ensure these four new entities are in place to deliver services from 1 July 2024.
