Kia ora,

On behalf of Hon Michael Wood, thank you for your email.

messages are carefully read and considered, it is not possible to provide
a personal response to every email received.

Where the Minister has portfolio responsibility for the issues that you
have raised, your correspondence will be considered and responded to where
appropriate.  If your email falls outside of these responsibilities, it
may transferred to another office for consideration.

Thank you for taking the time to write.

Dear Micky,

I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your Official Information Act request dated the 23rd June 2021. You have requested the following information:

"Can you please provide the following information:

1. Survey or any research undertaken which shows the number of people who will likely use the Auckland harbour walking & cycling bridge each day.

2. Computer modelling of how the proposed Auckland harbour walking & cycling bridge will ease traffic congestion in Auckland.

3. Why the latest plans for a Auckland harbour walking & cycling bridge will (if implemented) cost close to 1 billion dollars.

4. Alternative solutions the Labour government has considered and why they were rejected (including abandoning the project until a tunnel is finished).

5. Any discussions you have had with other ministers and the Ministry of Transport regarding the proposed Auckland harbour walking & cycling bridge via email - including but not limited to the cost blowout, plus why Starship Children's Hospital is begging for donations while the Labour government pour money into vanity projects such as this bridge and the Pike River Mine."

We received your request on 23/06/2021. We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible and in any event no later than 21/07/2021, being 20 working days after the day your request was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe.

Kind regards,

Office of Hon Michael Wood

Kia ora Micky

I refer to your below request pursuant to the Official Information Act 1982 to Hon Michael Wood, Minister of Transport, on 23 June 2021.

This email is to notify you that we are extending the 20 working days available to respond to your request, pursuant to section 15A of the Official Information Act. We require up to an additional 10 working days to respond to your request. Therefore you can expect to receive a response by 4 August 2021.

The reason for the extension is that 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 20 working-day limit.

You have the right under section 28(3) of the Official Information Act to make a complaint about the extension to the Ombudsman.

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
