What board fee increases, if any, has the Minister approved in 2026 to date, by organisation?

Answer

I approved increases to the boards within my Arts, Culture and Heritage portfolio to align with the revised fee increases as part of the revised Cabinet Fees Framework. New fees for the Arts Council of New Zealand Toi Aotearoa, Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra boards are $51,600 for the Chair and $25,800 for members; fees for Te Papa Tongarewa are $58,100 for the Chair and $29,050 for members; fees for the New Zealand Film Commission are $60,000 for the Chair and $28,500 for members; and fees for the National War Memorial Advisory Council are $345 per day for Chair and $265 for members.
