The Government has revealed their replacement for Three Waters.

Prime Minister Chris Luxon says the existing legislation will be scrapped by the end of next week, as part of the 100-day plan.

It will be replaced by two new bills within the next 18 months, with guidance from a Technical Advisory Group to help shape water plans.

ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says dismantling this system and setting up a new one will put extra strain on taxpayers.
