Illustration for Local Government (Water Services) Act 2025

When you are making a water services annual budget, you do not have to ask others for their opinions. If you are a water organisation, you follow a similar process to the one you use for preparing a water services strategy, which is outlined in section 236(1) to (5). You make any necessary changes to this process so it suits preparing a water services annual budget.
