Up to 9000 new skilled workers may be needed over the next three decades to ensure New Zealand water has a future.
This is the one of the major findings of a new Three Waters Workforce Development Strategy.
The report is a collaboration between Waihanga Ara Rau Construction and Infrastructure Workforce Development Council, Water New Zealand, Department of Internal Affairs, Taumata Arowai, Connexis, and industry.
Water New Zealand Chief Executive Gillian Blythe says a highly skilled workforce will be essential if the Three Waters sector is to thrive.
She spoke to Corin Dann.
