Summary
View the Department of Conservation's Pūrongo-ā-tau / Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2025. Presented to the House of Representatives on 22 October 2025, the report reviews the operations of the Department of Conservation.
The 2024/25 Annual Report is the last year of reporting against the department’s Statement of Intent 2022–2026 which has been replaced in July 2025 by the Strategic Intentions 2025–2029.
Our new strategic intentions reflect our strategic direction (PDF, 94K), the Government’s priorities and DOC’s upcoming integrated performance framework.
The new framework includes impact measures outlined in the Estimates of Appropriations 2025/26. These impact measures track progress against intermediate outcomes; they also reflect a shift from reporting on outputs to focusing on our impact on conservation.
While DOC will still use output measures in some cases, it’s developing new impact measures for future years. Reporting on the new integrated performance framework will be included in the 2025/26 Annual Report.
