Airport information disclosure template update 2026
We are making non-material changes to the information disclosure (ID) requirements for airports as required under Part 4 of the Commerce Act.
Draft April 2026 schedule layout changes – proposed template changes
As part of modernising how we collect information disclosure data, we are making changes to the layout of the Airport Information Disclosure (ID) schedules.
The proposed changes are non-material and amend the format of the templates to support a more data centric approach. These changes will make it easier to complete the schedules and process the data.
Proposed layout-related changes
The proposed changes to the schedule templates include:
- Layout changes to make the templates clearer and consistent
- Updates to formatting, style, and labelling
- Add missing units to headers
- Splitting tables where this improves clarity and usability
- Adding new headings or categories for clarity
- Remove minor data validation settings (such as text pop-ups).
Corrections and clarifications to existing templates
In addition to the layout changes, we have also corrected identified errors or ambiguities in previous versions of the schedule templates where the errors did not accurately reflect existing requirements.
This includes an error affecting the treatment of Unlevered tax in Schedule 3. The draft schedules now include a correction to address this error, and the formula will also be updated in the determination text.
Draft schedules
The draft proposed information disclosure schedules for airport service providers are:
Discussions with providers have informed the proposed layout changes. We welcome feedback from all interested parties.
Next Steps
We intend to make a final decision on these changes in May 2026.
Please provide your feedback on the proposed changes to infrastructure.regulation@comcom.govt.nz by 5pm, Tuesday 5 May 2026.
