Dear Arthur
Request made under the Official Information Act 1982
Thank you for your email of 31 January 2022 requesting the fol owing information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
I am requesting the appendices from the recently-released Indicative Business Case for Auckland
Light Rail.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is responding to this request as the agency subject to the Act,
while the Auckland Light Rail Establishment Unit resides within Waka Kotahi and operates
independently.
I am refusing your request under section 18(d) of the Act because the information you have requested
is set to be publicly released soon, to accompany the Indicative Business Case.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to refuse
your 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 to
[email address].
Yours sincerely
Richard May
Chief of Staff, Office of the Chief Executive (on behalf of the Establishment Unit)
