Dear John Homer
Official Information Act request regarding training partners within Otago Southland for
New Zealand Response Teams
Thank you for your request made under the Official Information Act (the Act), received on
19 February 2023. You requested:
“As can be seen with the current national state of emergency what agencies or
partners within the Otago Southland area conduct the training and activities that an NZ
RT would participate in a response.”
I believe that the information you have requested is more closely connected with the functions
of the Otago Regional Council. Accordingly, I have decided under section 14(b)(ii) of the Act
to transfer your request to the Otago Regional Council.
The Otago Regional Council has the usual timeframes under the Act from receipt of this
transfer to make a decision on your request.
Yours sincerely
Hamish Rogers
