10606 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Associate Minister of Transport: What board fee increases, if any, has the Minister approved in 2026 to date, by organisation?
Hon James Meager: As Associate Minister of Transport, I approved the Civil Aviation Authority Board Fees increases on 17 February 2026. In accordance with the Cabinet Fees Framework, the fees are now:
• Chair: $84,600
• Deputy Chair: $52,875
• Members: $42,300
Previous Fees were:
• Chair: $53,460
• Deputy Chair: $32,313
• Members: $25,850
Outside of a 10 percent increase in 2023 to match band adjustments in the Fees Framework, the Authority had not had a fee adjustment since the 2013/14 financial year. That review did not result in substantive changes.
