Next steps after NZ Post Deed of Understanding consultation

Published: 19 December 2024

Consultation on proposed changes to the government’s Deed of Understanding with NZ Post closed on 10 December. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) has received a total of 1,546 submissions, including submissions sent to the Minister for Media and Communications that have been passed on to MBIE.

This total includes 591 submissions received via email, 954 submissions received via the post, and 1 received via fax. Thank you to everyone who took the time to send in their feedback.

MBIE will now review feedback from submissions, have further discussions with Ministers, NZ Post and other key stakeholders and provide advice to the Government on final proposals.

The Government will communicate any decisions about changes to the Deed next year. If changes are made, NZ Post will make operational decisions about how any changes to the Deed are implemented.
