Kia Ora Jai,

We are unable to provide you with the information you asked for
I refer to your request for information dated 18 March 2023 regarding the
payments made to consultants, designers and other stakeholders involved
when considering and executing the name changes for the Auckland train
stations including Britomart.

Auckland Transport does not hold the information you requested; therefore,
we are refusing your request under section 17(g) of the LGOIMA. We believe
this information is held by Kiwirail and City Rail Link (CRL). We
transferred your request in full to both agencies on 21 March 2023.

If you would like to follow up with KiwiRail, you can contact their team
at [1][email address]. However, City Rail Link did not accept our
transfer, so you may want to contact them directly at
[2][email address]. For your reference, we have included some
information regarding the name change on the CRL website, which you can
find below:

[3]New City Rail Link stations
[4]New names for Auckland railway stations

You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review how we have responded to
your official information request. You can contact the Ombudsman at
[5]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
