Answer

On 22 May 2026, I approved increases to daily fees for each board as set out in the attached schedule. Members of boards I have fee-setting responsibility for are paid a daily rate for attending meetings. It is not possible to calculate an annual fee as this number depends on the number of meetings a member attends in any given year. The increased daily fees for the Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa New Zealand Geographic Board and Valuers Registration Board take effect from 1 July 2026. The Cadastral Surveyors Licensing Board fees took effect from 22 May 2026.
