5800 (2025). Hon Dr Megan Woods to the Minister for the South Island: Further to WPQ 4271 (2025), which business unit, if any, within MBIE are his primary advisors from?

Hon James Meager: Multiple branches and business units within the Regional Development and Commercial Services business group. Primary advice is provided by the following branches within the Regional Development & Commercial Services group: • Office of the Deputy Chief Executive – Regional Development & Commercial Services • Strategy, Planning and Performance. I also receive support from Regions (a branch within the Regional Development & Commercial Services group), and Communications, Design & Ministerial Services (a branch within the Strategy and Assurance group). As part of business as usual processes, the above groups consult with multiple units within the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
