I am extending the time available to respond to your request under sections 15A(1)(a)
and (b) of the Act, as your request necessitates a search through a large quantity of
information and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with the
operations of my office.
The timeframe has been extended by 15 working days. My response will now be
provided to you by 16 September 2022, however, I will endeavour to provide you with
the decision prior to this date if at all possible.
You have the right, under section 28(3) of the Act, to make a complaint to an
Ombudsman and seek an investigation and review of my decision to extend the
deadline for a response.
The contact address is: Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143.
Alternatively, you can phone 0800 802 602 or email
[email address].
