27319 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister responsible for RMA Reform: What is the total amount, if any, paid in board and committee fees by each agency, department, Crown entity, company, or other organisation for which the Minister is responsible in each financial year since 27 November 2023, broken down by organisation and year, as at 8 June 2026?

Hon Chris Bishop: The Waikato River Authority and Te Pou Tupua are entities established through Treaty settlements. The Crown provides annual funding to support their functions, which includes costs related to board or committee fees. As board and committee fees are paid from within each entity’s overall funding, I do not hold information on the total amount of fees actually paid in each financial year.
