Tēnā koe Miss Quicken,
Request for information 2026-161
I refer to your request for information dated 9 April 2026, which was received by Greater
Wellington Regional Council (Greater Wellington) on 9 April 2026. You have requested the
following:
“
I would like to understand the figures from the GRWC wide basis grouped to group functions.
Please provide for the latest FY25/26 where spending exceeds $10k. A list of consultancy
services by project with:
A. Consultancy entity name
B. Project name
C. Group(s) consulted or Cost centre/s
D. Cost
On the above, I would like to understand from financial impact perspective where GRWC relies
on external consulting services over it being done in-house. Thank you.
There was earlier 2025-036 by someone else but it was from earlier FYs and focused on Metlink
only.”
