24: Secretary may require territorial authority to provide information for monitoring purposes

You could also call this:

"The Secretary can ask a council for information to check they're following their water plan."

The Secretary can ask a territorial authority to give them information. This information helps the Secretary check if the territorial authority is doing what it said it would do in its water services delivery plan. The plan includes proposals or undertakings about future water services, as specified in accordance with section 13.

You can think of the Secretary as someone who oversees the territorial authority. The territorial authority has a plan for delivering water services, and the Secretary wants to make sure they are following that plan. The information the Secretary asks for will help them monitor the territorial authority's progress.
