Thank you for your email of 29 January 2021, requesting information regarding
Corrections’ relationship with mana whenua groups. Your request is being
considered under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA).
Corrections needs to extend the timeframe of our response to your request by 20
working days, pursuant to section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA, as consultations necessary to
make a decision on the request are such that a proper response to the request
cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit. Therefore, you can expect
to receive a response to your request by 29 March 2021. If you no longer require this
information, please let us know as soon as possible.
Please be advised that should you have any concerns regarding this extension you
have the right to ask an Ombudsman to investigate our decision to extend the
timeframe. Contact details are: Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington
6143.
