Dear John Luke
Thank you for your email of 31 August 2020 requesting information relating to the One Billion
Trees Fund.
The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) will not be able to respond within the timeframe set
out in the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) because consultations necessary to make a
decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within
the normal 20 working day time limit.
MPI will reply to your request by no later than 27 October 2020, earlier if possible.
Should you have any concerns with this extension, I would encourage you to raise these with
the Ministry for Primary Industries at
[email address]. Alternatively, you
are advised of your right to also raise any concerns with the Office of the Ombudsman.
Contact details are: Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143 or at
[email address]. Yours sincerely
Henry Weston
Director, Forest Development, Grants and Partnerships
