Good morning Robin

Thank you for your Official Information Act request to the Ministry of Defence. You ask about a Defence building on Molesworth Street. I have taken this as referring to Freyberg House on Aitken Street.

The Ministry's property services in relation to Freyberg House are undertaken by the New Zealand Defence Force. As such, I am transferring your request to the NZDF for reply, pursuant to section 14 of the Official Information Act 1982.

Yours sincerely

Adrian MacGregor

Subject: Official Information Act request - Molesworth Street Defence building lightning rod

Dear Ministry of Defence,

I would like to know the following:

Is the lightning rod on top of the Defence building on Molesworth Street an Enhanced, or ESE (Early Streamer Emitter) device?
If so:
Was a check made that this device complies with AS/NZS 1768:2007 (especially 4.3.2 section (d))?
Who made the decision to install an Enhanced lightning rod on the building?
What was the decision process that led up to this decision being made?
How much was spent on purchasing the device?
How much was spent on installation?

I can confirm that, as per Section 12, I am a New Zealand citizen and I currently reside in New Zealand.

Yours faithfully,

Robin Bodley
