12063 (2026). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Transport: What is the most recent restructure, if any, to take place in the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, and how many roles were affected, if any?

Hon Chris Bishop: I am advised by the Ministry of Transport that the most recent restructure was the New Zealand Search and Rescue team change with final decision made on 30 March 2026. A total of six roles were affected by this restructure; five of these roles were either vacant or filled by a temporary incumbent, and no permanent staff were affected. I am advised by New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi that most recent restructure was the Customer and Services group, with the final decision made on 23 March 2026. A total of 18 roles were affected and resulted in a net change of 5 roles.
