Tēnā koe Adam Irish,

 

I am writing concerning your OIA request below. This email is to advise
that we will need to extend the time limit for responding to you by 10
working days, to 18 April 2023. This is because the consultations
necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper
response cannot reasonably be made within the original time frame (section
15A(1)(b) of the OIA refers).

However, if this process is completed before 18 April, the response will
be sent to you as soon as possible.

 

If you have any questions, you can contact us by email at:
[1]DM‑[email address]. You have the right to seek an investigation and
review by the Ombudsman of this decision by contacting
[2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
