Fire and Emergency's Portfolio Prioritisation Decisions

Fire and Emergency New Zealand’s Investment and Portfolio team wishes to update all personnel on the organisation’s portfolio for the next four years.

In this Portal page, you will find all the information on the current and future portfolio decisions that have been made, as well as information on the process.

Also outlined is the prioritisation criteria and information on how the team balances the portfolio in regards to strategic importance, benefit to the organisation, affordability and achievability.

The portfolio selection activity is a key Executive Leadership Team (ELT) role in integrated planning and ELT committed significant time to the selection process that is described.

Due to factors such as Fire and Emergency’s current capacity to afford, resource and achieve the program of work, the selection of the investment portfolio has been more challenging than previous years, and for this reason has taken longer.

In particular, we have had to provision funds and capacity for the replacement of our payroll system. ELT had a number of robust debates about priority order and had to think very carefully about the portfolio that we can realistically fund and deliver for FY 2022/23 and FY 2023/24.

All of the information, including who to contact about this, can be found in the above Portal page.
