Dear Cindy
Request made under the Official Information Act 1982
Thank you for your email
of 14 December 2017 requesting the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982:
“Can you please tell me the total salary costs for the CE and each of the CE’s direct reports. I
only want the total figure of number of people involved and total annual salary costs for all
those people, I do not want to know the individual salary levels for any specific person, and I am
sure that you would not tell me that anyway.
Can you please provide me the above information for each of the last five years as at say 1
December 2017 and the four prior years. If 1 December as a date is too much work, then the
information as at some other suitable, relatively recent, date will be fine, along with the prior
four years data.”
The table below provides you with your requested information.

Please note that in 2017 NZ Transport Agency underwent a restructure which resulted in a flatter
structure and hence more direct reports to the CE.
1 Direct reports include both Executive and non-Executive appointments.
If you would like to discuss this reply with the NZ Transport Agency, please contact Glenn Murray,
Senior Manager Human Resources, by email to [email address] or by phone on 04 931

Yours sincerely
