51550 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Customs

51550 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Customs: What is the total floor area and annual cost of all office space currently leased or owned by each agency for which the Minister is responsible, and what proportion of that space is currently occupied by staff?

Hon Casey Costello: I refer the Member to the attached appendix which provides the office space leased or owned by the New Zealand Customs Service (Customs) broken down by annual cost, maximum workspace capacity and number of staff assigned to that location. I am advised that workspace capacity is defined as office/desk space and excludes open operational and/or inspection spaces, i.e. airports, warehouses, and Customs Controlled Areas. The number of staff assigned to a location may exceed the maximum workspace capacity because not all staff are present at the location at any one time.
