Staffing by Dept & North Canterbury
Peter Campbell made this Official Information request to Fire and Emergency New Zealand
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Peter Campbell to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Peter Campbell
Kia Ora FENZ,
I would like to request information on the following matters:
1. Staffing by Department
Please provide the number of paid FENZ staff by department, broken down for each year from establishment in 2017 through to EOFY 2026. I would appreciate this in a table that also includes the percentage of staff by department compared to the total, with department classifications generally emphasizing front-line firefighters in stations, front-line firefighters in investigation/risk/support roles, and other NHQ positions including NHQ management.
2. Aging Firefighting Vehicles
My community has a number of very old trucks under FENZ management for the past 9 years. Do you have any plans to replace the following vehicles?
Cheviot Tanker – 30+ years old
Culverden Tanker – 30+ years old
Hanmer Rural Tanker – almost 40 years old
Hawarden Pump – 30+ years old
Hawarden Tanker – 35+ years old
Waikari Pump – 30+ years old
Kaiapoi #1 – 35+ years old
Scargill Tanker – 30+ years old
Waiau Pump – 30+ years old
Waiau Tanker – 35+ years old
Waikuku Beach Tanker – 35+ years old
(This list is not exhaustive.)
3. Board Members’ Pay
As a levy payer, I would like to understand the documented rationale or benefits behind the significant increase in board members’ remuneration. Please provide any relevant documentation from the last three months, including information on how this increase was prioritized over other urgent needs, such as fleet replacement, given FENZ’s stated budget constraints.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Yours faithfully,
Mr P. Campbell
Rangiora
