Dear Ryan 
 
Request made under the Official Information Act 1982 
 
Thank you for your email of 22 January 2021 requesting the following information under the Official 
Information Act 1982 (the Act): 
 
Could you please provide a detailed breakdown of all costs associated with the production of the 
recently released publication “Signal A year in rail safety” including but not limited to printing and 
postage costs, along with costs related to staff involvement. 
 
The following information fall within the scope of your request: 
Item breakdown 
Cost 
Design and preparation of the document* 
$9,220.13 
 
Printing 
$1,560.55 
Postage 
$249.19 
Total cost 
$11,029.87 
 
Staff involvement costs are not included as the work on the publication was done by existing staff 
within their usual workload, and timesheets are not recorded at project level. 
 
*The design and layout of Signal – a year in rail safety 2019/20 was intended to be completed 
internally, and therefore within baseline costs, but was outsourced due to wider and increased 
demand on design resources at Waka Kotahi. 
 
If you would like to discuss this reply with the Waka Kotahi, please contact Natalie Wyatt-Renney, 
Senior Operations Analyst by email to [email address]. 
 
 
Yours sincerely 
 
Neil Adams 
Senior Manager Safer Rail
