Illustration for Hauraki Gulf Marine Park Act 2000

You get paid if you are a tangata whenua representative on the Hauraki Gulf Forum. The Minister pays you from money given by Parliament for this purpose. You get paid for things like allowances and travel expenses, which follow the rules of the Fees and Travelling Allowances Act 1951. You can also get paid for communication and consultation costs. This happens when you agree with the Minister before spending any money. You get paid for the actual and reasonable costs of doing your work as a tangata whenua representative. If you and the Minister do not agree on the costs, the Minister decides what to pay you. The Minister's decision is based on what they think is appropriate in the situation. The rules of the Fees and Travelling Allowances Act 1951 apply to your payments for allowances and travel expenses.
