12737 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Conservation: What is the total cost, if any, of any agency-organised conferences, workshops, and training events under the Minister’s responsibility since 27 November 2023, broken down by agency and event?

Hon Tama Potaka: I am advised by the Department of Conservation that this information is reported on twice a year as part of Select Committee Annual Review and Estimates processes. For the most recent information, I refer the member to Q101 pp 87-90 of the Department of Conservation’s Annual Review: https://www.parliament.nz/resource/en-NZ/54SCENV_EVI_4ba6f6ec-e831-4299-2500-08dd01fbf860_ENV76961/1ad8cd5a1a72adc0204a15cafc973bf1a6a9d5a8. The Department advises me that this information is not easily sourced from its systems – it takes significant collation to compile the information provided to Select Committee and it is not possible to provide in the timeframe allowed for this response. Updated information will be provided as part of the Estimates process shortly.
