Dear Darren
Extension of time to respond to request made under the Official Information Act 1982
Thank you for your email of 25 May 2023 requesting the fol owing information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
I am seeking the fol owing types of documents produced or updated 2023 for the Ngā Ūranga
to Pito-One Shared Cycle way:
• Health & Safety in Design Register
• Design Reviews
• Design Safety Audits and Assessments
• Meeting minutes where safety aspects of the design was recorded, and/or decisions made
that might affect safety.
This letter is to advise that Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is extending the 20 working days
available to us to respond to your request, as allowed for under section 15A of the Act. We are
extending your request as your request necessitates a search through a large quantity of information
and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with our operations and a proper
response cannot be made within the original 20-working-day time limit. We need a further 14 working
days and wil respond to your request on, or before 13 July 2023.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to complain to the Ombudsman about the extension.
More information about the Ombudsman is available online at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
If you would like to discuss the extension with Waka Kotahi, please contact Ministerial Services by
email to [NZTA request email].
Yours sincerely
James Sorensen
Manager Ministerial Services, Enterprise
