Local Government (Water Services Preliminary Arrangements) Act 2024

Watercare Services Limited - Related amendments to LGA2002

100: Section 124 amended (Interpretation)

You could also call this:

"New definitions added to help understand the law, including what 'Auckland' and 'Watercare' mean."

When you look at section 124, you will see some new words added to help with interpretation. You will find the word Auckland defined in the same way as it is in section 4(1) of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009. This means Auckland has a specific meaning in this context.

You will also see the word Watercare added, which refers to Watercare Services Limited and any companies that belong to it. This helps clarify what Watercare means when you see it used. It is important to understand these definitions to know what the law is talking about.
