If the land is well and the sea is well, the people will thrive.
At the Department of Conservation Te Papa Atawhai (DOC) we express our spirit of service and serve Aotearoa through our purpose, Papatūānuku Thrives. Our organisational strategy, Te Kaupapa a Te Papa Atawhai, puts nature and people at the heart of everything we do.

Our Commercial Team works closely with internal stakeholder groups to influence and drive commercial pricing behaviours with the overall aim of delivering the results sought by DOC (e.g., optimise return, incentivise the right visitor behaviour, drive economic efficiency, implement a fair and reasonable fee structure).
The team also provides commercial advice to influence operational business strategy and ministerial advice. We do this through the development of innovative economic tools, pricing, and commercial analysis to support sustainable allocation and protection of conservation resources.
