Subject: Official Information request - Salary and pay band information

MFE CYBER SECURITY WARNING
This email originated from outside our organisation. Please take extra care when clicking on any links or opening any attachments.

Dear Ministry for the Environment,

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
