Hon JAN TINETTI: That brings a wider consideration around what FENZ took over when the organisation was amalgamated back in 2017. Once the new Act was passed and Fire and Emergency was established, the state of the assets inherited from the old rural fire authorities was known to be variable. But the true state of stations' equipment and workplace culture was worse than anticipated. Fire and Emergency New Zealand also inherited a backlog of deferred expenditure. Significant investment has been required to bring assets and workplace culture to a reasonable state. The focus of the organisation over the last four years has been to put the investment in place to establish a modern fire and emergency service organisation, and in 2020 the Government funded $51.3 million to build or upgrade 26 fire stations in different parts of the country to ensure that these stations were fit for purpose.
