Extension of timeframe for Official Information Act request
Dear Joanne
Thank you for your email of 15 February 2021, in which you asked for
“(1) the details of the work
experience of the team members
(2) clarification of your applications and decision making for elucidation of your process.”
Your request is being considered under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).
A decision on your request was due by 15 March 2021. However, we cannot meet this date because
we cannot complete the necessary consultation before then. We are therefore extending the date for
our response until 29 March under section 15A(1)(b) of the Act. But we will respond before then if
possible.
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 have any questions or wish to discuss your request, please email us at:
[email address].
Yours sincerely
Alison Welch
Manager, Government Engagement and Official Correspondence
