We write further to our email of 28 August 2023, acknowledging receipt of your OIA
request (the
Request) of 25 August 2023 seeking information (if held by CIAL) in
relation to our dealings with Chorus relating to the new Tarras airport.
Request: Received 25 August 2023 – Dealings with Chorus
“
Could I have a copy of all emails, letters, meetings notes, presentations and other
correspondence with Chorus relating to the new Tarras airport.”
2.
As the Project is currently in the validation and planning phase, there has been no
requirement for us to engage with Chorus NZ at this point. Therefore, your request
is refused under section 18(g) of the OIA, because the information is not held.

We trust we have answered your Request for information. If you require any further
information or if we have in some way misinterpreted your Request, please let us
know.
