Thank you for your email of 20 November 2021 requesting the fol owing information under the Official

in the document schedule below and are enclosed.
Please note, personal information regarding Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency contractors has been
withheld under section 9(2)(a) of the Act. This section allows for the withholding of information to
protect the privacy of natural persons, including that of deceased natural persons.
