Official Information Act request about strategic resilience plans in New Zealand cities 
Thank you for your Official Information Act (OIA) request of 25 December 2022.  
You have requested: 
“TO: National Emergency Management Agency, 
For  various  reasons  major  global  cities  have  implemented  strategic 
resilience  plans  in  the  form  of  '15-minute  cities'  similar  to  the  City  of 
Melbourne's '20-minute neighbourhood'. 

(see www.weforum.org/videos/paris-is-planning-to-become-a-15-minute-
city-897c12513b)
 
(see www.planmelbourne.vic.gov.au/current-projects/20-minute-
neighbourhoods)
 
Please inform: 
Does the Government of New Zealand and/or its agencies have intentions 
to adopt and impose such systems in New Zealand cities?” 

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) does not hold information relating to 
your request. We believe the information you have requested is more closely connected with 
the functions of the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA).  
I have decided under sections 14(b)(i) and 14(b)(ii) to transfer your request in full to DIA. DIA 
has the usual timeframes under the  OIA from  receipt of this transfer to make a decision on 
your request.  
Yours sincerely
