Commerce Commission

Level 7 Landcorp House

From the Chair's foreword: "This year is likely to see the biggest changes to the Commerce Commission's responsibilities since its inception as a stand-alone agency in 1986.

"The key challenge facing us is to balance our resources, not only across the activities we already carry out but also to allow for significant amendments to the legislation we enforce and possible new functions."
