Answer

The Waikato River Authority and Te Pou Tupua are entities established through Treaty settlements. The Crown provides annual funding to support their functions, which includes costs related to board or committee fees. As board and committee fees are paid from within each entity’s overall funding, I do not hold information on the total amount of fees actually paid in each financial year.
