We would like to hear your views on the proposals in the consultation document Annual Review 2026: Proposed Changes to MPI’s Cost Recovery settings.

We encourage you to use this template for your submission.

Official Information Act 1982 and proactive release
Submissions are official information and may be requested under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA). The OIA specifies that information is to be made available to those who request it unless there is a good reason for withholding it.

Additionally, Cabinet papers and cost recovery impact statements are typically proactively released. These documents generally contain summary information about submissions including who submitted and what the submissions said. Sometimes a fuller summary of submissions document will be published.

You may wish to suggest reasons for withholding specific information in your submission, such as if information is commercially sensitive or if personal information should be withheld. We will consider these requests in accordance with the provisions of the OIA and will contact you if needed. MPI decisions, including withholding of information, are reviewable by the Ombudsman.

Privacy Act 2020
Where you provide personal information in this consultation MPI will only use it for the purposes of this consultation. Under the Privacy Act 2020 you have the right to request access and correction of any personal information you have provided.
