Information Request – Ward Volunteer Fire Brigade
I refer to your official information request dated 16 August 2022 where you have requested
information regarding the Ward Volunteer Fire Brigade.
The OIA 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 12 October 2022.
The reason for the extension is that consultations necessary to make a decision on your request
are such that a proper response to your request 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 availab
le at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
freephone 0800 802 602.
