How can stakeholders get involved?
Stakeholders can get involved in the development of solutions in different ways:
- Make a representation on any of the decisions made through the RAPID gated process.
- Respond to the consultation on regional water resources plan. Emerging regional plans were published for consultation by regional co-ordination groups in January 2022. They will consult further in Autumn 2022. Find your regional co-ordination group.
- Respond to consultations on water company water resources management plans, which will be published by companies in Autumn 2022.
- Contact water companies about solutions that could affect your area. Find out who supplies your water and sewerage services.
- Get involved in consultations on planning or environmental consents for any of the schemes.
