Answer

I refer the member to the following documents on Creative New Zealand’s website, which outline how Creative New Zealand intends to fund the arts over the medium term: Creative New Zealand Statement of Intent 2025 - 2030 https://creativenz.govt.nz/-/media/project/creative-nz/creativenz/publicationsfiles/statement-of-intent/2025_statement_of_intent.pdf and Statement of Performance Expectations 2026-27 https://creativenz.govt.nz/about-creative-nz/corporate-documents/statement-of-performance-expectations-2026-27. I am further advised that the member has requested further documents directly from the entity under the Official Information Act.
