Collaboration Between NIWA And Metservice
In a joint statement MetService Chief Executive Mr Paul Reid and NIWA's Acting Chief Executive Dr Bryce Cooper say: "The relationship issues reported in the media are not those of the current people involved. Both organisations are continuing to work together to ensure that any investments made by either organisation are maximised and coordinated for the benefit of all New Zealanders."
MetService and NIWA are currently in joint discussions using an external facilitator, Alison Patterson. There have been rapid advances in forecasting technology over the last few years, and the discussions are aimed at ensuring that New Zealanders can benefit from these advances.
The discussions are expected to be completed within the next 8 weeks and we will share the outcomes at this time.
