North Canterbury's council leaders are supportive of Government plans to scrap a raft of reforms, but are keen to see more details.
Hurunui District Council chief executive Hamish Dobbie said the new Government has listened to the concerns of rural councils about the difficulties implementing a range of policies.
"The issues are complex and I look forward to seeing what balance a new approach can bring."
The new Government has announced sweeping changes including the repeal of Resource Management Act and Three Waters reforms, as well as changes to the National Policy Statements on Freshwater and Indigenous Biodiversity.
Dobbie said he would like to see a resource management system which was more accessible, with "good checks and balances to scrutinise more complex matters".
While rural communities like Hurunui have few government services, the district did receive government funding to deliver services, so any funding cuts could have significant impacts.
Waimakariri District Council chief executive Jeff Millward (pictured) said it was "too early" to determine the impacts of the reversal on reforms.
"It is a fairly difficult economic environment at present and I think the Government recognises the issues being faced by our communities and businesses."
Millward said the council had lobbied for changes to the Three Waters reform.
He hoped the new Government would support "better and more affordable models" being proposed by councils.
Kaikลura District Council acting chief executive Peter Kearney said his council was supportive of the proposed legislative reviews.
"Where there is opportunity for us to proactively approach government for additional funding that will add value to our community we will certainly be seeking to explore those possibilities.
"At this stage there is still much for the new government to work through and we remain optimistic the detail will provide a constructive and pragmatic way forward."
The coalition Government has agreed to review the National Policy Statement on Indigenous Biodiversity, while the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management and the National Environmental Standards for Freshwater will be replaced.
Work on the new Significant Natural Areas, which aims to give greater protection to important native habitats, will be stopped.
New resource management legislation will focus on property rights as a guiding principle.
The new medium density residential standards, which was introduced as a joint Labour and National initiative, will now be optional for high growth councils such as Waimakariri.
The changes would be accompanied by ACT's plan to share a portion of GST from new builds with councils
New Zealand First has also secured a $1.2 billion regional infrastructure fund.

Rangiora High School has changed the way it manages sport as it looks to grow participation.
The school has produced several national sporting stars in recent years, including All Black Fletcher Newell and Football Ferns Gabi Rennie and Macey Fraser.
Associate principal Paul Donnelly said the school wanted to take a more holistic approach which was about more than "winning".
"Winning and losing is a part of life. You get out and do the best you can, even if the scoreline doesnโt go your way."
Sport taught young people transferable skills such as teamwork and collaboration to help prepare them for the world beyond school, he said.
Changes included disbanding the Rangiora High School Rugby Club and bringing the sport under the direct control of the school.
Donnelly said the move had not been popular, but the sports co-ordinators hoped to bring more equity across the different sporting codes by adopting the "rugby model".
Rugby would continue to have its own management committee, and the sports co-ordinators would gradually introduce committees for each sporting code over the next two to three years, beginning with basketball, volleyball and netball, he said.
"We looked at how do we offer the best service to kids in a very busy world. How do we develop coaches and managers, and how do we instil in our students that how we behave on the sports field and how we behave in school are the same?
"And we want to have more equity, with no code left behind"
PE teacher John MacDonald will take over as sports director next year, overseeing a team of four sports co-ordinators.
The school received no funding for its sports programme and relied on sponsorship from local businesses and donations from the wider community.
This year 30 sports were offered, including seven new sports introduced during the year.
Basketball was the most popular with 166 students participating, followed by rugby with 139 players and volleyball with 122.
About 40% (663 students) of the student body of 1670 participated in sport this year, a four percent growth compared to 2022 and matching pre-Covid levels.
But it was less than the peak of 750 students participating in sport in 2017, when the roll was well over 1700.
While there were 57 staff members involved in sport, MacDonald said the school was reliant on the support of the wider community and was seeking expressions of interest for coaches, managers and referees for next year.
Most sports teams had a coach and a manager, while higher level teams might have assistant coaches and assistant managers.
Development opportunities were available for coaches and referees through the North Canterbury Sport and Recreation Trust and through regional sporting bodies.
MacDonald was looking for equipment develop a weights room in the school gym for student athletes.
โโNot all of our students can afford a gym membership and it will also make it more cost effective to run team trainings.โโ
The school also offered coach appreciation and induction evenings, where coaches from the different sporting codes could connect and exchange ideas.
Board of trustees presiding member Simon Green was contacted for comment.

On Yolanda's birthday, her husband had a major heart attack. They had an entire day planned, but then life threw a spanner into the works.
Yolanda asked Amelie to feed her cat, Koda, but Amelie's family went over and above. They cooked dinners two nights in a row and sent yummy treats during the tough time.
โI was really touched by their love, prayers and generosity. They are amazing. I couldnโt wish for better neighbours,โ said Yolanda.
Nominate a Nice Neighbour you know, and they could be recognized on Stuff (and you both win a prize!).
