Answer

I am advised that in 2024, the Ministry for the Environment (the Ministry) updated how positions and vacancies were managed in its people systems. As a result, the Ministry is unable to provide data as at 1 January 2023, as requested. However, the Ministry reported 1010.2 FTE (people) as at 30 June 2023 in response to Question 66 of the Ministry's 2023/24 Annual Review reporting. Further information is available at: https://www3.parliament.nz/resource/en-NZ/54SCENV_EVI_46dc8331-b0b8-43fe-6fd7-08dcebf31e9f_ENV76964/88b2b4bd353632e61f287709e57f03283b0fb789 As at 1 January 2023, the Environmental Protection Authority had 209 full‑time equivalent (FTE) positions.
