8859 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister for State Owned Enterprises: How many New Zealanders are estimated to live more than (a) 5 kilometres, (b) 10 kilometres, and (c) 20 kilometres from their nearest remaining NZ Post access point following the current round of service counter closures?
Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that 90% of residents living in urban areas will still be within 4km of a NZ Post store following the proposed changes. Of the 142 sites impacted by the changes only three them are between 10-15km from the nearest site, which is the greatest distance away.
