13/10/23 In the email to Renee on the 16th June 2023, a red line was redacted and related to the statement around 44 homes. We have been enquiring about the remaining 2 lots as there are actually 46 lots being developed for residential.
10:43PM
Please provide the un redacted copy of the statement as it is clearly hiding the point of the additional 2 lots.

Please provide all information and documents and emails that relate to the 45th and 46th lots.

 

These were acknowledged in our letter to you of 19 October 2023 (sent to
your personal email), which acknowledged these requests and several
others.  We advised you that we are treating these additional requests as
one request, and notified you of an extension of time to make our
decision, to 28 March 2024. If we can respond sooner, we will do so.

 

We advised you that in accordance with section 15A(1)(a) of the Act, this
extension is necessary because your request necessitates a search through
a large quantity of information and meeting the original time limit would
unreasonably interfere with our operations. You have the right to seek an
investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information
about how to make a complaint is available at
[2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
