Subject: Official Information request - Cost of Securing Subsurface Rights
for City Rail Link

 

Dear Auckland Council,

 

This LGOIMA request concerns City Rail Link Ltd, of which you and the
Crown are the shareholders, and is about the costs of securing subsurface
rights for the City Rail Link it is building.

 

My request is for:

 

1) the total cost already paid or agreed to be paid by CRLL for subsurface
rights, up until 11.59pm on 28 May 2021

 

2) the total costs paid by CRLL for consultants and other external
providers in relation to 1 above

 

3) CRLL's total cost estimate of further subsurface rights, beyond those
covered by 1 above, to allow the completion of the project

 

4) CRLL's total cost estimate for consultants and other external providers
in relation to 3 above

 

Please note I do not seek information paid to any specific party - just
the total dollar figures.

 

I am also making this request under the OIA to the Minister of Finance.

 

Thank you

 

Yours sincerely

 

Matthew Hooton

I’m the LGOIMA Business Partner who’s looking into your official
information request

My name is Varsha and I’m a LGOIMA Business Partner at Auckland Transport.

 

I’m responsible for looking into the official information request you
made on 11/06/2021 about City Rail Link. Questions 1 and 2 of your request
was transferred to Auckland Transport to respond. 

 

The LGOIMA requires that we let you know our decision on your request no
later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.
Unfortunately, it won’t be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore letting you know of an extension of the time to make our
decision, to 23 July 2021.
 

This extension is necessary because consultations within Auckland
Transport are necessary to make a decision on your request. Therefore, a
proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
 

If you need to provide us with more information relevant to your request
or you have any questions, simply reply to this email leaving the subject
line as it is. We’ll make sure this information is added to your case.

Kia ora Matthew,

Thank you for your email. Your request was transferred to us by CRL on 10
June 2021. 

Your request required consultations between the following teams within AT
for information dating prior to 2017. 

I have worked with the below teams:

* Finance

* Property and Planning and;

* Integrated Networks

The above teams are working on your request, as well as other requests,
alongside their daily duties. We will provide you with the information we
hold as soon as possible, but no later than 23 July 2021. This time is
necessary because all of the information needs to be collated and checked
to ensure that nothing is missing. 

However, I am pleased to inform you that the team are making progress and
it is looking like we will be able to provide the information sooner.

Kind regards,
Varsha
