Ko wai mātou.
Ko te iwi, ko te wai.

The water is us.
We are the water.

Everyone in Aotearoa deserves access to safe and reliable drinking water, wastewater and stormwater services.

Waipuna ā rangi is the Entity A
Iwi Regional Representative Group

We exist to be a voice for mana whenua across Entity A, as defined in the Water Services Reform Programme.

At the heart of the reforms is ensuring all New Zealanders across the motu (country) have access to safe and reliable drinking water, wastewater and stormwater - Waipuna aa rangi believes this principle should override all others.

As part of these reforms, the proposed new Water Services Entities must give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, remove existing barriers and prioritise system design on incorporating solutions that give effect to Te Mana o te Wai and addressing Iwi/Māori rights and interests.

This means that all hapū and iwi must be engaged, participating and determining their priorities and opportunities throughout the transition process.

If you are mana whenua in Entity A, we exist to help represent your interests.
