2. Objective and Scope
The objective of this study is to identify a feasible range of options for the financing and development of large scale water enhancement projects and to analyse the most promising in terms of business structures, potential investors, identification of risks to participants, the investment, and risk management strategies.
The terms of reference for the work are:
- Take account of the findings of the review of international experiences and the recent models successfully used in NZ to implement the Opuha and Waimakariri-Ashley water enhancement projects.
- In this regard, and within the existing legislative and regulatory
environment, the study will investigate the following:
- Partnership options for funding water enhancement developments.
- Role of trust structures to cater for future share allocations.
- Investment by third parties.
- Identify constraints under the existing legislative and regulatory environment for implementation of promising equity sharing models.
- Identify the risks associated with each equity option for each class of investor, and develop possible risk minimisation strategies.
- Recommend a range of equity sharing models that may be useful for the developments under consideration and any requirements that need to be further considered.
