Tçnâ koe Liz

 

Thank you for your email of 28 April 2023 to the Ministry of Business,
Innovation and Employment (MBIE) requesting, under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following information:

 

• Any advice provided by MBIE to Ministers in the last five years on the
cost and benefits of hosting the Commonwealth Games.

• Any documents provided to Ministers in the last five years which
reference potentially hosting the Commonwealth Games.

 

You requested all advice and documents provided by MBIE to Ministers about
potentially hosting the Commonwealth Games in the last five years.
However, the terms of this request are exceedingly broad, and as such may
be refused under section 18(f) of the Act, as the information requested
cannot be made available without substantial collation or research.

 

It appears likely that your original request will need to be clarified or
amended to enable us to respond. We would suggest that you refine your
request to specify the information that you require, for instance:

 

• Any advice provided by MBIE to Ministers in the last five years on the
cost and benefits of hosting the Commonwealth Games in 2034.

• Any documents provided to Ministers in the last five years which
reference potentially hosting the Commonwealth Games in 2034.

 

Please note, any clarification or amendment of a request is considered to
be a new request for the purpose of calculating the maximum statutory
timeframe for response as per section 15(1AA) of the OIA.

 

We look forward to hearing from you.
