Thank you for your request to the Department of Conservation, received on 5 May 2024, in
which you asked:
I noted, you have recently call for nomination for your Ngāti Tama Joint Advisory
Committee https://gazette.govt.nz/notice/id/2024-go2072
May I ask how you called for public nomination and on what platform you have
call for public nominations e.g. govt.jobs website. Also, how many applications
you have received from the public and how many you have received from other
nominating agencies such as TPK or Ministry of women etc for your role. How
many you have shortlisted and how many you have interviewed.
We have considered your request under the Of icial Information Act 1982.
In response to your questions, we advise that the Gazette notice you refer to is not for a
position that is fil ed from public nominations. The position is for a nominee of the Taranaki
Whanganui Conservation Board under
section 43(2)(c) of the Ngāti Tama Claims Settlement
Act 2003. Please also note that the notice was not calling for nominations, it was advising
the appointment of the member.
Please note that this letter (with your personal details removed) may be published on the
Department’s website.
If you would like to discuss this response with us, please contact Rick McGovern-Wilson by
email to
[email address].
Nāku noa, nā
