Kia ora,

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

While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important and all
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.

(Please note that this acknowledgement is an automatically generated
email.)

If you haven't yet booked your free COVID-19 vaccine, we encourage you to
do so. You can book online at [1]bookmyvaccine.nz or by calling 0800 28 29
26.

You can get vaccinated without a booking or appointment at a number of
sites across Auckland. You can find a list online [2]here.  

If you already have a booking but it’s not for a few weeks, you can move
this forward – there are thousands of appointments still available this
week. You can do this online at [3]bookmyvaccine.nz.

 

Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself and your whânau.
Getting as many Aucklanders vaccinated as soon as possible is the key to
preventing lockdowns and getting the city back to work.

 

 

Regards

Dear John,

I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your Official Information Act request dated the 23rd of February 2022. You have requested the following information:

“A news article appeared on the Stuff website on 23 February 2022 titled "Waka Kotahi and police launch Road to Zero safety campaign as upgrades begin" quoted you saying, “In fact, in some areas, we've recently increased it to 110, where we have the right infrastructure in place."

Please provide information on the sections of New Zealand state highways where the speed limit has increased to 110km/h since the 6th Labour government came into power (i.e. from 26 October 2017), including when the speed limit increase was implemented - exact dates note required, the month and year for each one suffices.

Please also provide your definition of "recently" if that is at all possible under the Official Information Act."

We received your request on 23/02/2022. We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible and in any event no later than 23/03/2022, 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,
