How much in total, if any, is forecast to be spent on renumeration of Crown appointees in the Minister's departments, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, for the 2026-27 financial year?

Answer

I am responsible for appointments to the Valuers Registration Board (VRB), Cadastral Surveyors Licensing Board (CSLB) and the Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB). For the 2026/27 year, no funding is budgeted for board member fees for the CSLB or the VRB as fees are directly funded from professional registration fees paid by practitioners in both industries. In 2026/27, the NZGB has budgeted $36,188 to cover fees for Crown-appointed board members.
