Appendix 1A

This Appendix will apply from 20 April 2026 until the earlier of:

(a) 19 April 2027

(b) the price of regular petrol drops below $3 a litre for four consecutive weeks, and the Secretary for Education gives notice in accordance with clause 3.

The price of fuel in (b) above will be determined according to the board price for regular petrol published by MBIE in its weekly fuel price monitoring. This data can be found here: Weekly fuel price monitoring | Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment 

Where the price of regular fuel has dropped below $3 a litre for four consecutive weeks, the Secretary will give one week’s written notice to the unions. The rates in this Appendix will cease to have effect from the end of the notice period. (For the avoidance of doubt, no notice is needed where this Appendix is ceasing to apply because the date in 1(a) above is reached.)
