Dear David 
 
Extension of the time to respond to your request made under the Official Information Act 1982 
 
Thank you for your email of 1 March 2023 requesting the following information under the Official 
information Act 1982: 
 
Meetings requested by or involving CIAL (whether by employees, contractors or subcontractors) 
between 1 July 2020 and 24 Feb 2023 including meeting topic, agenda and presentations 
provided before, during or as a follow up to a meeting
 
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days 
after the day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and 
we are therefore writing to notify you that we are extending the 20-working-day time limit as allowed 
for under section 15A of the Act. We need five more working days to respond to your request. We will 
send you our response on or before 5 April 2023.  
 
This extension is necessary because your request necessitates a search through a large quantity of 
information and requires consultations before a decision on the request can be made.  
 
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to 
extend the time limit. You can find the contact details for the Ombudsman online at 
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz. 
 
If you would like to discuss this response with Waka Kotahi, please contact Ministerial Services by 
email to [NZTA request email]. 
 
 
Yours sincerely

Senior Manager Government
