requested:
I would like to request a list of vacancy (ministerial appointment only, e.g. board
member, Lay member, Trustee etc) that the nomination period has been closed
but still under consideration by treasury or relevant Minister.
In your list, can you please included the date that vacancy been advertised and
when the vacancy been closed as well. Also, Any current live vacancy? I know
you have a website that regularly advertise the appointments information.
Also, I would like to know if you have any future opening in 2021. e.g. the position
that will call for nomination in the year of 2021.
I note that the Treasury contacted you on 17 May 2021 and proposed clarifying the
request by providing a list of positions which went through a public call for nominations
and are still under consideration. This was to acknowledge that the Treasury does not
have information on future board appointment rounds as they are dependent on
decisions by the responsible Minister.

All positions usually go through a public call for nominations, with a few exceptions,
e.g. when there had been a public call for nominations shortly beforehand. There is
currently one appointment round still under consideration for the ACC board where
positions did not go through a public call for nominations as the Minister for ACC had
called for nominations in mid-2020 for a similar skill set.
You can learn more about current board vacancies by consulting the information
publicly available on the below web page.
http://www.boardappointments.co.nz/vacancy/index.aspx As mentioned previously, the Treasury cannot comment on future openings as these
will be dependent on Ministerial decisions.
Please note that this letter (with your personal details removed) may be published on
the Treasury website.

This reply addresses the information you requested. You have the right to ask the
Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision.
