Dear Harry
Thank you for your request made under the Official Information Act, which was
transferred to us on 24 August 2022 from the Cabinet Office. You requested:
…all documents and Cabinet papers mentioning Whangārei in relation to
infrastructure and health funding decisions from October 2017.
I have decided under section 15A of the Official Information Act to extend the time limit
for deciding on your request by an additional 60 working days. The new due date for
responding to your request is 30 November 2022.
The extension is required because your request necessitates a search through a large
quantity of information, and consultations are needed before a decision can be made
on your request.
This extension will also apply to the time limit for transferring your request, should this
become relevant.
Notwithstanding this extension, I undertake to make a decision on your request as
soon as reasonably practicable.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review this decision.
Yours sincerely
Reubhan Swann
