Fisheries Services to be Provided in 2007/08

This section contains the specific outputs and services to be delivered in 2007/08 to support the achievement of the contributing outcomes listed earlier in this SOI.

Consultation on the provision of fisheries services

These services have been determined by the Minister of Fisheries following consultation by the Ministry with iwi and stakeholders earlier in 2007 on the services to be delivered. The consultation documents are shown on the Ministry's web site, together with the advice provided to the Minister to enable him to determine the approved services to be delivered in 2007/08.

Departmental output expenses

The table overleaf sets out the departmental output costs, and shows:

  • the full cost of the outputs
  • the amounts to be recovered from the commercial fishing sector through cost recovery levies and transaction charges
  • the net Crown cost for 2007/08
  • a comparison with the full cost of each output for 2006/07.

Capacity indicators

The specific services provided in 2007/08 will be supplied on the basis agreed (as amended from time to time) between the Minister of Fisheries (the Minister) and the Chief Executive of the Ministry. Each Departmental Output Expense shows the capacity allocated to that area.
