Staff gift register

What the staff gift register lists

The staff gift register is a summary of gifts accepted and declared by our staff. The information is collated and published on a four monthly basis – April, August, and December each year.

The register names only senior managers. All other employees are referred to by position title only.

Some gifts are provided to groups rather than individuals. Where appropriate, these gifts have been consolidated and a total value shown, along with the number of staff included.

Where a gift is offered to Auckland Council, rather than a specific staff member, this has been indicated.

Low value gifts (gifts under $50)

Low value gifts include light refreshments and business courtesy items, for example branded pens and water bottles. Declaration of these items is not generally required under Our Charter.

This gift register does not cover or list:

Travel, Attendance or Accommodation costs, to or from events or meetings, paid for, or paid on behalf of, Central Government.
Awards presented at recognized annual trade, industry, design, or professional services functions and award ceremonies.

Gifts to employees of council-controlled organisations

This register is for Auckland Council and does not include council controlled organisations such as Watercare and Auckland Transport. These organisations maintain their own registers.
