Ko wai matou - About us
As the lead regulator for land transport, our purpose is to ensure that the system is safe, efficient, effective and operates in the public interest.
Safety is a top priority for Waka Kotahi and we, as Te Ropu Waeture (the Regulatory Services group), aim to improve safety and reduce the risk of harm by being a firm and fair real-world regulator applying principles of good practice grounded in Te Ao Maori - Whakapono (Integrity), Manaakitanga (Caring for people), Whanaungatanga (Relationships), and Kotahitanga (Unity).
Being a real-world regulator means we take a systems view that is focused on improving safety outcomes and reducing harm. We work to understand why people behave the way they do and are pragmatic in how we respond, we encourage and educate to support people to comply and enforce compliance when necessary.
The Regulatory System Design group supports the regulator's role by ensuring clear policy, procedures, guidelines, and regulatory strategy are in place to deliver our regulatory functions.
The Regulatory Implementation team is the link between the creation and amendment of legislation and the regulatory operational teams and regulated parties.
Guided by risk, intelligence, and evidence, the Regulatory Implementation team's purpose is to take a systems view and work collaboratively and in partnership with our operational teams, industry and their Regulatory Standards and Implementation colleagues to facilitate the implementation and operationalisation of new and existing legislative settings.
Equally, the team is responsible for ensuring feedback loops are in place that see ineffective legislative settings being flagged where the desired outcome is not being realised.
Along with our other benefits, we also offer 5 weeks annual leave, access to Marram Trust holiday homes, and subsidised health insurance.
