Subject: Official Information request - 20230403 QAC Taxpayers Union Accreditations LGOIMA Request

To the Queenstown Airport Corporation Ltd,

This is a request for official information under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 relating to certifications and accreditations your airport has received.

We request information that answers the following questions:
- How many years has your airport been affiliated with Toitû?
- How much does it cost your airport to maintain certification, including fees from Toitû and costs related to meeting these requirements?
- If different, what were the initial up-front costs to achieve compliance with certification standards and achieve certification in the first place?
- Does the port plan to achieve CarbonZero/Carbon Positive certification, and if so, why, and under what timeframe?
- If not, why?
- Has the port considered other certification/auditors, or in-house auditing of their climate emissions as an alternative to Toitû?
- How long has the council been affiliated with or accredited as a 'Living Wage Employer'?
- What are the costs that are involved with maintaining this certification?
- What were the upfront costs for becoming accredited?
- Please provide copy of any contracts signed, any other applicable conditions or criteria your port must abide by as part of accreditation.

We do not wish to cause unnecessary expense or burden on your council. If clarification of any of our requests is needed, please call or email. Likewise, if a request proves unnecessarily burdensome in form and we are likely to be able to adjust it to be more specific or better suited to your information systems without losing the benefit of what is sought, please also get in touch. If there is likely to be a delay in being able to assemble or provide some of the information requested, please provided the rest of the information as it becomes available.

To avoid unnecessarily printing and postage costs, we ask that you send a confirmation of receipt, the response and any other correspondence to [email address]. Please include the following reference in the subject line – 20230403 QAC Taxpayers Union Accreditation LGOIMA Request
