27555 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister for Sport and Recreation: What additional payments, allowances, or expenses, if any — including but not limited to meeting fees, daily rates, travel, or accommodation — were paid to board or committee members of any agency, department, Crown entity, company, or other organisation for which the Minister is responsible since 27 November 2023, broken down by organisation, type of payment, and total amount, as at 8 June 2026?

Hon Mark Mitchell: I am advised that since 27 November 2023, Sport NZ Board members have not received any additional payments or allowances (including meeting fees, daily rates, or similar standing entitlements) beyond their fees. Board members may be reimbursed for actual and reasonable incidental expenses incurred while undertaking official Board business. These reimbursements may include travel, accommodation, meals, and other necessary expenses associated with attending meetings or representing the Sport NZ Group in line with agreed policy and public sector guidance. Incidental expenses are reimbursed to members on a claim's basis with appropriate documentation. Information on the total value of expenses incurred between 27 November 2023 and 8 June 2026 is not held in a single consolidated format and would require substantial collation. For the Integrity Sport and Recreation Commission, additional payments for the period identified totalled $102,811.
