Dear Tony,
Request made under the Official Information Act 1982
Thank you for your request of 17 October 2021 requesting the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
With respect to my request item "9) Can I please have a copy of the communication to the
Road Efficiency Group that led to them to develop the ONF PT Tiers and to provide the ONF
movement and place classification discussion document to WK including the sender of the
communication, the date of the communication and any documents attached/linked to the
communication?"
WK responded: "In developing the One Network Framework (ONF) design, an international
review of movement and place frameworks was completed. As a result, the model layers
(including public transport) are included as an element of a complete movement and place
framework and therefore encompassed in the design document."
TR Feedback Comment: No further information was provided in response to this request item.
Can WK please confirm that it does not hold any "communication to the Road Efficiency
Group that led to them to develop the ONF PT Tiers and to provide the ONF movement and
place classification discussion document to WK"?
If such communication exists, such as "an international review of movement and place
frameworks", then can WK please provide a copy of this communication?
With respect to my request item 11) Can I please have copy of any supporting information,
reports or other evidence used by the person or persons in their drafting of the Public
Transport section and associated table in the ONF movement and place classification
discussion document?
WK Responded: "The document was developed using supporting information from the
National Policy Statement on Urban Development which can be found here:

TR Feedback Comment: The only information was provided in response to this request item
was the one page document "National-Policy-Statement-on-Urban-Development-expected-
outcomes.pdf".
Can WK please confirm that, other than that one page chart, there not any other "supporting
information, reports or other evidence used by the person or persons in their drafting of the
Public Transport section and associated table in the ONF movement and place classification
discussion document"?
If such information exists, such as "an international review of movement and place
frameworks", then can WK please provide a copy of this information?
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has reviewed our response of 13 October 2021 and I can confirm
all the information within scope of your request has been provided. The international review of
movement and place frameworks you refer to was completed by a third party. The output of this review
was provided to the Road Efficiency Group in a presentation to the board, this was provided to you in
Attachment two of our response of 13 October 2021. Therefore, I am refusing your request under
section 18(e) that the document alleged to contain the information requested does not exist.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to refuse
this request. The contact details for the Ombudsman can be located at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
If you would like to discuss this reply with Waka Kotahi, please contact Ministerial Services by email at
[email address].
Yours sincerely
Nick Ross
Principal Advisor – Transport Services
