Time Extension of your Official Information Act request, reference: GOV-010812
Thank you for your email of , asking for the following information under the Official Information Act 1982
(the Act):
Could you please send me copies of all ACC board minutes for the period Jan 2019 - April 2021.
ACC needs extra time
The Act 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 wil 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 1 October 2021.
This extension is necessary for the following reasons:
• your request is for a large quantity of information and meeting the original time limit would
unreasonably interfere with our operations;
• your request necessitates a search through a large quantity of information and meeting the original
time limit would unreasonably interfere with our operations;
• consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot
reasonably be made within the original time limit.
We wil endeavour to complete our response as early as possible. We may also be able to provide some of
the Minutes at an earlier date.
Questions about our response
Please contact me o
n [email address] if you would like to talk about this letter. I wil be
happy to answer any questions or, if you have any concerns, work with you to resolve these.
If you are not happy with this response, you have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman.
Information about how to do this is available at
