Dear McCashin,

 

I write in respect of your email to the Council received on 5 October 2023
in which you asked a number of questions relating to the Town Hall
earthquake strengthening project.

 

Given the scope of your request, this information is still being collated.

 

The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no
later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.
Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our
decision to 17 November 2023.

 

This extension is necessary because consultations necessary to make a
decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit.

 

Right of review

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Further information is available on the Ombudsman website,
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.

 

If you have any questions’, please feel free to contact me.

 

Kind regards,

Ian
