Dear Mr T H

Official information request internal reference 19/OIR/338

I refer to your official information request dated 20 June 2019 in which you asked the Civil Aviation Authority some questions about sustainability.

The Official Information Act 1982 requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to 16 August 2019.

This extension is necessary because your request requires consultation necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

Dear Mr Ho

We refer to your request for information dated 20 June 2019. Your questions are:

Question 1 - I hereby request a copy of the CAA’s sustainability report if there is one and if not why not?

Answer : There is no requirement for crown entities to prepare a sustainability report and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) does not hold one and accordingly, this part of your request is declined, (ref - section 18 (e) of the Official Information Act).

Despite not having a report, the CAA is making incremental improvement's through implementing initiatives where it can make a difference.

2. Is there any sustainability initiatives? If not why not?

Answer: please refer to enclosed PDF, a document recording the CAA’s sustainability initiatives.

3. Is there any sustainability outcomes for the CAA, if not

Answer: please refer to PDF attached to answer above.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

If you wish to discuss this decision with us, please feel free to contact me. My contact details are below.
