Thank you for emailing the Ministry of Justice (the Ministry).

 

We acknowledge receipt of your request under the Official Information Act
1982.  Specifically, you requested:

 

I would like to know how the PSPLA/MoJ makes its pricing decisions, what
factors are considered, and if third party groups such as the NZ Security
Association are consulted during the process.

 

Further, I would like to know what the PSPLA will do to address the fact
that some web pages on the PSPLA website still incorrectly list the 2023
prices for application fees, while some accurately reflect the changes -
with the new, higher fees requested on the payment screen at the
resolution of the online application process.

 

This has been forwarded onto the relevant business unit to respond to. 

 

The Ministry may publish the response to your request on our website, you
can expect that if your OIA is to be published that this will take place
at least 10 working days after it has been sent you. Your name and any
other personal information will be withheld under Section 9(2)(a) (protect
the privacy of natural persons).

Subject: Official Information request - Exorbitant application fee
increases

 

Dear Private Security Personnel Licensing Authority,

 

While I'm sure we can agree the term 'exorbitant' is subjective, I'm
equally sure most reasonable people would agree that a price increase of
over $200 for a company licence application fee since this time last year
($616 in July 2023 to over $800 in July 2024) meets the threshold to be
described as such.

 

I would like to know how the PSPLA/MoJ makes its pricing decisions, what
factors are considered, and if third party groups such as the NZ Security
Association are consulted during the process.

 

Further, I would like to know what the PSPLA will do to address the fact
that some web pages on the PSPLA website still incorrectly list the 2023
prices for application fees, while some accurately reflect the changes -
with the new, higher fees requested on the payment screen at the
resolution of the online application process.

 

For clarification and transparency, it would be ideal to have the price
setting process explained, and to have all of the above described
discrepancies resolved.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Aaron Goodwin
