[FYI request #21529 email]
Dear Cody C
I refer to your email to Christchurch City Council of 7 January 2023 requesting the following
under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):
Please supply the "investigators project plan" that should have been completed in the
month of November 2022, as originally referenced in the document titled
"Appointment of investigator under section 24A of the Resource Management Act
1991 to look into Christchurch City Council’s non-notification of an intensification
planning instrument".
As you will be aware, on 10 January 2023 your request was transferred to the Ministry for
the Environment (the Ministry) by Christchurch City Council for response under section 12 of
the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.
Your request has been refused under section 18(d) of the Act, as the information requested
is publicly available. The project plan was released in a previous response to a request
under the Act, which has been proactively released on the Ministry’s website.
The plan can be accessed at:
environment.govt.nz/assets/publications/OIAD-491-
Response.pdf.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Office of the Ombudsman of
my decision to refuse this request, in accordance with section 28(3) of the Act. The relevant
details can be found on their website at:
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
Yours sincerely
Electronically approved.
