28727 (2024). Francisco Hernandez to the Associate Minister of Transport: How many jobs broken down by job titles and region, if any, are planned to be established in the Minister’s Departments, if any, over the next twelve months ?

Hon Matt Doocey: I am advised that Maritime New Zealand has returned 5% or $0.525m of baseline Crown funding through savings in maritime regulatory policy advice and recent maritime security uplift as part of Budget 2024. This involved the disestablishment of three vacant roles. One in the frontline security area and two roles that develop regulations. As these are vacancies, demographic data about who would have filled them is not known. I am further advised that due to the nature of Maritime New Zealand’s work as a regulatory and response agency no programmes have been cancelled as a result of these savings.
