Thank you for coming to Let's Talk CHB / Kōrero Mai to talk about the proposed Hawke's Bay Water Trust. Please use this site to get more information, to ask questions or share views.

The proposal will be before Council for deliberation on 31 October 2024. The opportunity to comment is available until 9am Tuesday 29 October 2024.

What's being proposed?

A paper exploring the proposed Hawke’s Bay Water Trust, and its draft deed were presented to Central Hawke’s Bay District Council for the first time on Thursday 17 October 2024. The discussion for the elected members focused on Council's potential role in making a community appointment to the Trust.

The purpose of the proposed charitable trust is to explore solutions to water security in Tamatea – Central Hawke’s Bay that will last for generations to come, with community ownership and voice at its centre.

The Council has been facilitating the development of the trust, alongside Tamatea Pōkai Whenua (the legal treaty partner) and Water Holdings Hawke’s Bay Limited. If created, it is proposed the intellectual property and consents associated with the Tukituki Water Security Project will be transferred to the Trust's ownership. The trust will explore the viability of water security initiatives.
