Dear Darren  
 
Request made under the Official Information Act 1982 
 
Thank you for your email of 11 September 2022 requesting the following information under the Official 
Information Act 1982 (the Act) in response to the AHBSP SSBC Economics spreadsheet you received 
on 22 August 2022: 
 
This information request was for an economics analysis prepared in accordance with an 
obsolete NZTA standard for a project that has been official y cancel ed. There should be no 
impediment under the Official Information Act to deliver the requested documents in ful  and 
without delay. 
 
I repeat, my original request included the statement: "This request includes any spreadsheet(s) 

or other files directly linked in the economics assessment spreadsheet." The two links in the 
delivered spreadsheet precisely identified files and their locations on the NZTA network. Only 
one of the two identified files has been delivered. 
 
The original request has not been modified and no clarification has been sought. No notice of 

time extension has been received. Delivery of the documents requested has exceeded the 
20day limit. The request for the identified undelivered linked file remains extant. 
Please provide these documents to ful y satisfy this request for information. 
 
The EEM Worksheet 2019-04-10.xlsx referred to in the AHBSP SSBC Economics spreadsheet that 
you received on 22 August 2022 calculated the economic disbenefits of removing a traffic lane from 
the Auckland Harbour Bridge. This was not used in the calculation of benefits and costs, and did not 
inform the project economic evaluation, as the 2020 business case did not propose removing a traffic 
lane from the bridge. However, for completeness, a copy of the EEM worksheet is attached. 
 
If you would like to discuss this reply with Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, please contact 
Ministerial Services by email to [NZTA request email].  
 
 
Yours sincerely
