     Kia ora Z Williams
 
Thank you for your LGOIMA request dated 21 September 2022.
 
Could you please provide a phone number I can contact you on as I’d like
 to discuss the scope of your request to help you obtain the information
 you’re seeking. As you will be aware, details around Taupo Volcano are
 held by GNS Science and Taupo District Council may not hold some of the
 information you would like. I would like to help you get the information
 you seek, but may need to advise you on where the best place is to get the
 information. (As opposed to us simply stating we don’t hold the
 information, such as eruption zones, plans around activity alerts etc.)
 
Nga mihi
Libby
