Thank you for your Of icial Information Act 1982 request to the Department of Conservation,
received on 09 May 2023, in which you asked for:
Thank you for your previous reply, -OIAD 2438 Response Luke
May I ask how is the progress of this appointment round goes. When you expect
to conclude the appointment process.
I have decided to withhold most the information you are seeking under the following section
of the Of icial Information Act 1982:
• advice stil under consideration, section 9(2)(f)(iv) – to maintain the current
constitutional conventions protecting the confidentiality of advice tendered by
Ministers and officials.
In making my decision, I have considered the public interest considerations in section 9(1) of
the Of icial Information Act 1982 and determined there are no public interests which outweigh
the grounds for withholding.
However, I can advise that we expect the process wil be completed by mid-July 2023.
Please note that this letter (with your personal details removed) and enclosed documents
may be published on the Department of Conservation’s website.
Nāku noa, nā
