The Performance Monitoring Framework sets out how Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) will monitor and evaluate the exercise of the LINZ Chief Executive and the Commissioner for Crown Lands’ functions, powers and duties under the Crown Pastoral Land Act 1998, and the discharge of the LINZ Chief Executive’s stewardship responsibilities under section 52(d) of the Public Service Act 2020.
The Performance Monitoring Framework sets out how Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) will monitor and evaluate:
- the exercise of the LINZ Chief Executive and the Commissioner for Crown Lands’ functions, powers and duties under the Crown Pastoral Land Act 1998
- the discharge of the LINZ Chief Executive’s stewardship responsibilities under section 52(d) of the Public Service Act 2020.
This is the first Performance Monitoring Framework LINZ has published and it outlines the key performance elements used to monitor and assess the extent to which LINZ is achieving its objectives and evaluates whether the intent of legislation is being met.
The Performance Monitoring Framework is intended to deliver transparent, comparable information on LINZ’s contribution towards statutory outcomes over time. The performance information will inform LINZ’s future investment decisions and resource allocation within the Crown pastoral regulatory system.
LINZ will publicly report on progress against the Performance Monitoring Framework in the Annual Report.
Its companion document – the Crown Pastoral Land Strategic Intentions Document 2024-2029 – outlines a proposed vision and strategy for LINZ to manage Crown pastoral land in New Zealand. It also sets out the ‘why, what and how’ of Crown pastoral land, providing a clear line-of-sight between the Crown statutory objectives and LINZ work programmes.
Together, both documents sit within the context of the LINZ departmental strategic intentions for 2023 to 2027. The Performance Monitoring Framework and the Strategic Intensions Document are developed under the Crown Pastoral Land Act 1998 with reference to the Public Service Act 2020.
