Two staff are employed full-time to administer the concessionaires, who number 200. The Tongariro Taupo Conservation Board performs a conservation advisory role for the conservancy on behalf of the public. Members are appointed by the Minister of Conservation for a three-year term. The board meets about 6 times a year at various locations in the conservancy, but usually at the Tongariro Taupo Conservancy office in Turangi. The public are invited to attend the meetings and a schedule of meeting dates can be obtained from the Tongariro Taupo Conservancy's Turangi office.
Revenue is derived generally from concession licenses, rentals and hut fees.
