request (the
Request) of 15 August 2023 to CIAL seeking the following information:
Request - Received 15 August 2023 – Correspondence with
“Could I please be sent all correspondence, briefings, notes and meetings dates with
Treasury regarding Central Otago Airport?”
2. This letter is to advise you that CIAL is respectfully extending the 20 working days
available to respond to your Request, as allowed under section 15A of the OIA. We
will require an additional 10 working days from when our response to you would
have been due (12 September 2023). Your Request covers a great deal of
correspondence which various teams will need to go through and extract internally;
this will take some time. Therefore, we will send you a response by

decisions contained in this letter. Information about how to contact the Ombudsman
