Kia ora Gerard,

 

I refer to your official information request dated 14^th November 2022 for
additional information on the Grants awarded by Manawatū River Leaders’
Accord.

We have decided to grant your request. However, given the amount of
resource required to process your request, we have decided to charge for
making the requested information available.

We estimate that the maximum charge will be $720 + GST. Any unused
component of the maximum charge will be refunded to you.

Before we proceed further with your request, please confirm your agreement
to the charge and pay $360 + GST as a deposit, with the balance to be paid
on release of the information. Once we receive your agreement to pay this
charge we will issue the invoice.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

Dear LGOIMA Requests,

Thank you for your update and advise that I will be charged for this request, or that I can raise the issue with the Ombudsman

As there are a number of follow-on queries, I will raise my concerns with the ombudsman.

I believe it is contrary to Government transparency and guidelines for public money and rate payer finance for HRC to not keep and publish a list of grant recipients and the purpose of the award.

Yours sincerely,

Gerard Paver
