35745 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport

35745 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport: Are liabilities or contingent liabilities arising under section 185 of the Resource Management Act 1991 disclosed in the Financial Statements of the Government of New Zealand; if so, in which note and at what value; if not, why not?

Hon Chris Bishop: I am advised that all approved advance property purchases, including those related to s185 RMA applications, are included in NZTA’s financial system and reported monthly to Treasury for consolidation into the Crown Financials. While it is expected that this is disclosed within the payables/provisions or contingent liabilities note, these would not separately identifiable as s185 transactions.
