    1. Copies of Three waters proposed staff transition guidelines that outline the transfer and recruitment of staff to the water services entities including those prepared in July 2022 and updated in late 2022, including any information re implementation timelines.

      We do not believe we have received any updated Transition Guidelines as yet.
