Salary and bay band information

Merritt Drake made this Official Information request to Department of Conservation

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Merritt Drake to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Merritt Drake

Dear Department of Conservation,

I am requesting the following information under the Official Information Act 1982.

Please provide the following information as at 17 December 2025:

1. For all roles within the mid-level tiers or equivalent levels of your agency's organisational structure (for example, team managers, principals, seniors, analysts and advisors, etc), the minimum, maximum, and median salaries currently being paid for each position title.

2. For the same group of roles, the number of employees in each pay band/grade that is currently being used for each position title.

I am not seeking personal information, so anonymised data is fine. If any part of the request must be withheld, please release the remainder. I would prefer the information in a simple table or spreadsheet if possible, please.

Yours faithfully,

Merritt Drake

Kia ora Merrit,

 

Thank you for your request to the Department of Conservation. Your request
requires clarification for us to respond.

 

You have asked for information as of 17 December 2025. As the OIA only
applies to information that exists at the time a request is made, can you
please confirm the dates you are seeking information for? Did you mean 17
November 2025 or perhaps 17 December 2024?

 

Please note that, in either case, the data provided will be as of the end
of the month closest to the date you have requested as this aligns with
our standard reporting dates.

 

Clarifying your request may mean that the timeframe for response is reset,
as per section 15(1AAA) of the OIA.

 

Ngā mihi,

Lara Matthews (she/her)

Senior Official Information Act Advisor
