PUBLIC TRUSTEE — REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
422. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Attorney General:
This question does not have a number,
strangely, but I will ask it in anticipation.
I refer to the Attorney General's
admission on 28 March 2023 that recommendation 3 of the Auditor General's
performance audit Public Trustee's administration of trusts and
deceased estates had missed its implementation time line of 31 January
2023.
(1) What progress
has the Public Trustee made on each part of recommendation 3?
(2) When will the full recommendation
be implemented?

I thank the member for some notice
of the question. For his reference, the number is C498. The following answer
has been provided to me by the Attorney General.
(1) The Public
Trustee considered the feasibility of developing a schedule of common repair
costs. Due to the varied nature of the work performed on behalf of clients,
implementing a schedule of common repair costs may not be practical nor cost
effective. Photographic evidence is now mandatory for all relevant completed
works. Spot checks will be incorporated into the new contract and undertaken by
inspectors.
(2) The development and tendering for the contracts is
expected to take between three to six months; therefore , the
implementation date will need to be extended to 30 September 2023.
