Actions were taken as read and the following updates were given:

forward. The IT upgrade was initially scheduled to commence in Q3 following the
conclusion of the CLIP discovery phase, at which time there would be a clear picture of
system requirements. This action can be closed.
· Action 15 Aged Cases: a verbal update was provided, advising 56% of cases have been
processed within the 90-day target since 1 July 2022. There have been some difficulties
reaching resolutions which contribute to time delays. The outsourcing solution has not
been as successful as hoped, with a number of cases being referred back to REA for
further work.
· Action 19 Te Tiriti CPD proposal review: REA has a preferred provider and is working
through the contract process. An external review of content by
may be sought.
The Board discussed the following:
· The use of external providers to assist with resolving complaints:
confirmed a couple
of licensees and complainants have queried the use of a company outside of REA, but
once the process is explained they have co-operated.

Minutes : Board Meeting 6 December 2022 - 6 Dec 2022
· Priority projects are listed in paragraph 7, with the three priorities being the complaints,
licensing and IT upgrade projects.
· Paragraph 19 Information Roadmap: this will now be presented to the Board in the new
year as further work is required with REA’s external consultant.
· Paragraph 33: highlighted contributions to community initiatives from staff.
· Paragraphs 41 - 43 Regulation of Property Management budget: challenges include
defining which property managers are to be captured. 2,000 - 7,500 is the estimated
number of property managers affected. REA’s budget bid assumes 7,000 to be prudent.
· Paragraph 44 REAA amendments: These are the key legislative amendments proposed to
the Real Estate Agents Act which may be addressed through the consequential
amendments in the omnibus bill that will be prepared. The Board was invited to share their
views on this list.
· The Board was asked to consider which of their members should be on the working group
for the regulation of property management.
· The CE also acknowledged the work of
during her time at REA and
thanked her for her significant contribution as General Counsel.
The Board discussed the following matters:
Regulation of Property Management
· Could the
forecast of expenditure in Q3 and Q4 relating to work on the
regulation of property management be recovered from funding for establishment costs. The
CE advised the Treasury budget has already been set for the current year so this sum will
not be recoverable.
· There is a need to consider the views of licensees that will not benefit from the use of their
levies for the establishment of the regulation of property management. The CE noted that
the revenue policy allows for use of funds for wider system work, which includes this
extended mandate.
· To support the management work for establishment of property management regime, a
Board Advisory Committee would be established with 4 members:
Proposed amendments to REAA for discussion with MoJ
· Licence cancellation provisions for late renewals and failure to complete CPD on time are
harsh and justify review,
Feedback to be provided to HUD
and MOJ.

Kia Toipoto Progress Update
The paper was taken as read and
Head of People & Capability, highlighted the
following:
• The first two milestones are to be in place by December.
• This is REA’s second year of measuring pay by gender and first year of reporting on our
ethnic pay gap.
• A data correction was noted on pg. 100 relating to the Pacific peoples vs. non-Pacific
Peoples pay gap.
Powered by

7
Minutes : Board Meeting 6 December 2022 - 6 Dec 2022
• Due to REA’s small size, the decision has been made not to publish pay gap statistics on
privacy grounds and in light of stats NZ guidance as to robust data reporting cannot be
achieved where groups compared are less than 20 people.
• REA’s workforce composition is largely in line with the NZ population, save that our
percentage of Maori is less.
The Board discussed the following matters:
• Increasing the proportion of Maori and Pacific peoples in REA’s staff composition is a
priority. REA is looking at the Tupu Toa internship programme as an opportunity.
suggested also looking at Tupu Tai Pasifika Public Sector internships which is more
tailored to the public service (run by MBIE).
• Making connections and attracting more diversity:
offered to support with networking
and making connections to attract Pacific peoples to roles at REA. She also suggested
working with the Ministry of Pacific Peoples and Te Puni Kōkiri to assist with connections.
• It is critical that the REA workplace is inclusive and embracing of diversity, as when this is
our reputation it will attract a more diverse workforce.
• Release of pay gap statistics under the Official Information Act: The CE advised that the
information could be withheld under the privacy clause the decision not to report is a
reflection of Stats NZ guidance given that our data is volatile and may shift with small
personnel changes, and is not based on sufficiently significant people numbers to be
reliable (i.e. less than 20 per group compared).
• Disability and rainbow community statistics: the initial categories being looked at are
gender and ethnic gaps but these additional categories may be looked at in subsequent
phases. We report on disability in our Annual Report.
• It was noted that the Kia Toipoto report is required to be published by 31 December. The
Board endorsed this being approved and published by the CE.

Have Your Say Survey Progress Update: REA Focus Areas
The paper was taken as read and
, Head of People & Capability, highlighted the
following points:
• Pg. 102 highlights the five areas of focus that the Culture Club has recommended and SLT
supports these focus areas.
The Board discussed the following matters:
• Effective meetings: The CE advised that meeting management has been identified as
needing improvement in terms of agenda setting, clarity around purpose, objectives and
participants, and also timekeeping. The key focus is to ensure that any meeting held adds
value, that must be the purpose. Informal contact can achieve as much and sometimes
more than meetings, so should be encouraged. Meetings important for keeping a sense of
connectedness.
• The Board commended the management team on the diversity and inclusion aspects of the
survey results.
• Examples of Technology challenges: equipment faults in old technology, connectivity
issues for hybrid meetings, dual systems presenting productivity challenges although the
introduction of VPN will assist with this.
• Examples of information management challenges: use of
pathways, and the need for clear guidelines on how to tag and store data so that it is easily
accessible. Our refreshed information management framework will assist to prioritise our
technology and information focus to support a productive work environment.

Strategy Overview Paper
The paper was taken as read, with the paper providing an update on the intended direction of
REA’s strategic planning for the 2023 Statement of Performance Expectations.
The Board discussed the following aspects:
• Escalation of unlicensed training: People doing all marketing and promotional work all the
way up to the point of sale and purchase agreement. There have been
in recent weeks pending analysis to determine the course of action.
• Consider including remuneration in the strategic focus areas, including consideration of a
total rem strategy. It was noted that the remuneration policy was due for review once
issues on PSPA and REM review were settled. Board agreed that ensuring REA has the
capability and capacity to deliver the strategy is a key and that makes pay a strategic
priority. This needs to be reflected in the SPE.
• Project management: project in a box was previously introduced and championed by
someone but they left so there was no active champion. There is a need to have a project
management expert/champion to remind staff about methodology and tools for running
projects. The newly established PMO led by
has this role and good progress has

huge.

(vendors), print, and travel.
• Whatever changes are to be made, needs to be balanced with still needing to be an
effective regulator and delivering REA’s outcomes.
• REA’s expansion to include regulation of property management will also need to be
factored into reporting.
• REA will need to appoint an auditor to verify our emissions data. The Board will be updated
on this work regularly going forward.
