Kia ora
I am writing in response to your request received by Police on 15 November 2021. Your
request has been considered pursuant to the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA).
Specifically, you requested: How much has it cost to-date to provide military, police and security guard services at the Ibis Tainui and Jet Park Hamilton since the date they were first used as managed isolation facilities until 31 October 2021. How much has it cost to-date to provide military, police and security guard services at the Distinction (Hotel) Hamilton since the date it was first used as a managed isolation facility until the date its use was changed to a "community isolation quarantine facility."
Your request was partial y transferred to Police from the Ministry of Business, Innovation
& Employment so Police could respond to the part of your request concerning the cost of
Police services.
Costs associated with the services Police provide in relation to these facilities are not
captured. Your request is therefore refused pursuant to section 18(g) of the OIA as the
information requested is not held.
You have a right under section 28(3) of the OIA to ask the Ombudsman to seek an
investigation and review of my decision.
Yours sincerely
Superintendent Barry Taylor Director: Major Events Police National Headquarters 180 Molesworth Street. PO Box 3017, Wellington 6140, New Zealand.
