Independent assessment by TDM Consulting Report on the financial context of the fire services merger.

Alan Thompson made this Official Information request to Fire and Emergency New Zealand

The request was successful.

From: Alan Thompson

The New Zealand Fire Service Commission,

In April 2016 Cabinet agreed to commence a course of action to merge the NZ Fire Service and the 56 Rural Fire Authorities into one fire service entity.

This merger was found to require an injection of additional funding from the fire service levy (on insurance policies) and a further Crown contribution. One of the conditions for the release of the Crown funding for this transition was that an independent assessment was to be undertaken of the Commissioon's financial context to confirm the need for the capital injection.

The Minister outlined this requirment in his paper to the Cabinet Economic Growth and Infrastructure Committee in April 2016. It was recorded in the Minute of Decision EGI-16MIN-0064 that TDM Consulting had been engaged to to provide this independent assessment of the financial context, the challanges faced and the opportunities available to the Fire Service as it looks to transition to a single unified fire services organisation. It was further recorded that this assessment was due for completion in April/May 2016.

In light of the significant concerns around the funding model of the new entity I request a copy of the TDM Consulting report as identified above. This request is made under the provisions of the Offcial Information Act.

Yours faithfully

Alan Thompson
