    What review, if any, of the NZTA board's overall competencies and requirements did he undertake or commission before announcing changes to that board's membership on 27 July 2026?

Answer

Consistent with good practice, the Ministry of Transport reviewed the overall composition of the NZTA Board as part of the appointment round that was just concluded. That advice recommended a Board composition with a stronger emphasis on governance, particularly in financial and regulatory oversight.
