Looking over the Makaroro River, proposed site for the Ruataniwha Dam.

Looking over the Makaroro River, proposed site for the Ruataniwha Dam.

A proposal to set up a new service company for the Ruataniwha Scheme opened for public consultation yesterday.

The Hawke's Bay Regional Council is asking for public input on the proposal from its investment company, Hawke's Bay Regional Investment Company Ltd (HBRIC Ltd), to establish a new Council Controlled Trading Organisation (CCTO).

The CCTO would carry out operational work on the Ruataniwha Water Storage Scheme under a services agreement with the Ruataniwha Water Limited Partnership. (The council CCTO is referred to as "ServiceCo" but will be renamed on its formation.)

The principal responsibilities of the proposed ServiceCo were to provide an operational site for the Ruataniwha Scheme and secure all required land, ensure all resource consent requirements and obligations for the scheme are implemented, including various liaison groups, management plans and mitigation works.

It would also market and execute new water user agreements, establish billing and invoice processes and deliver technical operating and maintenance services.

The proposed company would be a limited liability company with no financial recourse to Hawke's Bay Regional Council.

ServiceCo would be a subsidiary of HBRIC Ltd and carry out the operational work for the Limited Partnership/ General Partner (RWM Ltd) via a service agreement with Ruataniwha Water Limited Partnership.

Written submissions will be received by HBRC until 5pm on September 9. The regional council will hear submissions on September 19. Submissions can be completed online at hbrc.govt.nz, emailed to info@hbrc.govt.nz or mailed to HBRC, Private Bag 6006, Napier 4142.
