Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

I am also requesting copies of documentation/discussion on the topic of 'Whangârei/Whangarei', from said Cabinet minutes, presentations, documents, or other materials.

Kia ora Mr Peterson

 

Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act. You have
requested:

 

“a record of times ‘Whangârei’, or ‘Whangarei’, has been mentioned in
Cabinet papers from the date beginning 26 October 2017 to present.

 

I am also requesting copies of documentation/discussion on the topic of
Whangârei’/‘Whangarei’, from said Cabinet minutes, presentations,
documents, or other materials.”

 

Although we hold Cabinet records, we are unable to make decisions on the
release of Cabinet papers to the public as we are not the subject-matter
experts. As a result, we will need to transfer your request to the
relevant Ministers’ offices responsible for the material relevant to your
request.

 

We note that your request is substantial and will involve hundreds of
transfers and likely a lengthy extension. In the first instance, we would
be grateful if you could refine your request to identify the subject
matter/s you would like Cabinet material relating to.

 

We also note that it is possible that a large amount of the Cabinet
material that includes Whangârei or Whangarei relates to the Cabinet
Appointments and Honours Committee (APH) (for example, the addresses of
individuals appointed to local boards or other bodies). Assuming your
request does not relate to appointments, could refine the request to
exclude the material relevant to APH. That would reduce (but not remove)
the need for an extension.

 

If the request is not refined, we will need a substantial extension to
enable us to respond appropriately.

 

Please advise whether you’re able to refine your request, including by
excluding appointment papers from the scope of the request. Otherwise we
will proceed on the basis that an extension to the timeframe for response
will be required, and we will come back to you on the length of that
extension.

 

 

Regards

Kia ora Mr Peterson

 

Thank you for coming back to us and helpfully clarifying your request for
information under the Official Information Act. You have now asked for:

 

‘only the mention of Whangārei pertaining to funding decisions within
Cabinet’.

 

However, we note that there is still a substantial amount of material
potentially within scope of your clarified request. Accordingly, if your
request is not further refined, we may need to refuse your request under
section 18(f) of the Act on the basis that the information requested
cannot be made available without substantial collation or research. Is it
possible for you to further refine your request to relate to one or more
specific subjects, for example – Cabinet funding decisions relating to
infrastructure projects and/or you may choose to refine your request by
amending the timeframe for the material requested.

 

Please advise whether you are able to refine your request. I would
appreciate your response by Wednesday 27 July 2022.  If we have not heard
from you by this date, we will consider your request as it is currently
framed. You can contact us to discuss our proposals by email to the
Cabinet Office – [1][email address].

Dear CabinetOffice [DPMC],

Yours sincerely,

 Kia ora Mr Peterson

  

 Thank you for coming back to us and helpfully clarifying your request
for  information under the Official Information Act. You have now asked
for:

  

 ‘only the mention of Whangārei pertaining to funding decisions within 
Cabinet’.

  

 However, we note that there is still a substantial amount of material 
potentially within scope of your clarified request. Accordingly, if your 
request is not further refined, we may need to refuse your request under 
section 18(f) of the Act on the basis that the information requested 
cannot be made available without substantial collation or research. Is it 
possible for you to further refine your request to relate to one or more 
specific subjects, for example – Cabinet funding decisions relating to 
infrastructure projects and/or you may choose to refine your request by 
amending the timeframe for the material requested.

  

 Please advise whether you are able to refine your request. I would 
appreciate your response by Wednesday 27 July 2022.  If we have not heard 
from you by this date, we will consider your request as it is currently 
framed. You can contact us to discuss our proposals by email to the 
Cabinet Office – [1][email address].

  

 Kind regards

make decisions on your OIA request as soon as practicably possible, and to
keep you informed of progress if there are likely to be delays.

Dear CabinetOffice [DPMC],

I refine my request for all documents and cabinet papers mentioning
Whangârei in relation to infrastructure and health funding decisions from

Yours sincerely,

 Kia ora Mr Peterson

  

 Thank you for coming back to us and helpfully clarifying your request
for  information under the Official Information Act. You have now asked
for:

  

 ‘only the mention of Whangârei pertaining to funding decisions within 
Cabinet’.

  

 However, we note that there is still a substantial amount of material 
potentially within scope of your clarified request. Accordingly, if your 
request is not further refined, we may need to refuse your request under 
section 18(f) of the Act on the basis that the information requested 
cannot be made available without substantial collation or research. Is it 
possible for you to further refine your request to relate to one or more 
specific subjects, for example – Cabinet funding decisions relating to 
infrastructure projects and/or you may choose to refine your request by 
amending the timeframe for the material requested.

  

 Please advise whether you are able to refine your request. I would 
appreciate your response by Wednesday 27 July 2022.  If we have not heard 
from you by this date, we will consider your request as it is currently 
framed. You can contact us to discuss our proposals by email to the 
Cabinet Office – [1][email address].

  

 Kind regards

Kia ora Mr Peterson

 

This email is to acknowledge receipt of your request that was transferred
to us on 24 August 2022, requesting the following information under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

 

o “All documents and Cabinet papers mentioning Whangārei in relation to
infrastructure and health funding decisions from the date beginning
October 2017”

 

Can you please help us by clarifying the following:

 

o Are you wanting papers referencing Whangārei related to Infrastructure
separately to Health and vice versa, or are you asking for anything we
have done in Infrastructure related connected to health that reference
Whangārei?

 

o Can you provide some guidance around the definition of Health? Do you
mean the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Disabled People or ‘health’
in a wellbeing context?

Please advise to assist us in narrowing the scope of your request so that
we can respond appropriately.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 Kia ora Mr Peterson

  

 Thank you for coming back to us and helpfully clarifying your request

 However, we note that there is still a substantial amount of material

Kia ora Mr Peterson

 

This email is to acknowledge receipt of your request that was transferred
to us on 24 August 2022, requesting the following information under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

 

o “All documents and Cabinet papers mentioning Whangārei in relation to
infrastructure and health funding decisions from the date beginning
October 2017”

 

Can you please help us by clarifying the following:

 

o Are you wanting papers referencing Whangārei related to Infrastructure
separately to Health and vice versa, or are you asking for anything we
have done in Infrastructure related connected to health that reference
Whangārei?

 

o Can you provide some guidance around the definition of Health? Do you
mean the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Disabled People or ‘health’
in a wellbeing context?

Please advise to assist us in narrowing the scope of your request so that
we can respond appropriately.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Tēnā koe Harry, 

Official Information Act request: All documents and Cabinet papers
mentioning Whangarei in relation to infrastructure and health funding
decisions from the date beginning October 25 2017.

As you will be aware, your request has been expanded to include potential
information held by various government departments. As such, Cabinet
Office have arranged to transfer your request to the relevant Ministers
and government departments under section 14(b)(ii) of the Act, one of
which being the Department of Conservation. We received your request on 24
August 2022.

We would like to seek further clarification as pertains to your original
request to determine what, if any, relevant information might be held by
the Department of Conservation. Are you able to provide us with the type
of ‘infrastructure’ documents you wish to receive? We would likely be able
to provide you with information relating to hut and track infrastructure
in the Whangarei area. Is this the information you are after? If so, is
there a specific type of ‘documents’ you would like to receive?

Thank you for working with us. These questions will help ensure that we
provide you with the correct information you are seeking.

Dear Harry

 

I refer to your official information request dated 17 August 2022 for:

"All documents and Cabinet papers mentioning Whangārei in relation to
infrastructure and health funding decisions from the date beginning
October 2017"

 

The Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) requires that we advise you of
our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the day
we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet
that time limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension
of the time to make our decision, to 19 October 2022.

 

This extension is necessary because your request requires consultation
across several agencies and as such a proper response cannot reasonably be
made within the original time limit.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz  or freephone 0800 802 602.

Subject: Re: Official Information request response

Dear CabinetOffice [DPMC],

I refine my request for all documents and cabinet papers mentioning
Whangârei in relation to infrastructure and health funding decisions from
the date beginning October 25 2017.

Yours sincerely,

Harry Peterson

-----Original Message-----

[UNCLASSIFIED]

  

 Kia ora Mr Peterson

  

 Thank you for coming back to us and helpfully clarifying your request
for  information under the Official Information Act. You have now asked
for:

  

 ‘only the mention of Whangârei pertaining to funding decisions within 
Cabinet’.

  

 However, we note that there is still a substantial amount of material 
potentially within scope of your clarified request. Accordingly, if your 
request is not further refined, we may need to refuse your request under 
section 18(f) of the Act on the basis that the information requested 
cannot be made available without substantial collation or research. Is it 
possible for you to further refine your request to relate to one or more 
specific subjects, for example – Cabinet funding decisions relating to 
infrastructure projects and/or you may choose to refine your request by 
amending the timeframe for the material requested.

  

 Please advise whether you are able to refine your request. I would 
appreciate your response by Wednesday 27 July 2022.  If we have not heard 
from you by this date, we will consider your request as it is currently 
framed. You can contact us to discuss our proposals by email to the 
Cabinet Office – [1][email address].

  

 Kind regards
