Official Information Act 1982 Request
Thank you for your email of 21 October 2023, asking for the fol owing under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the OIA):
“To ensure public transparency, may I kindly request full board meeting minutes from 1st Jan
2021 to 1st Nov 2023. Also, I would encourage the board to consider upload these meeting
minutes regularly to your website for all New Zealander to view.
May I also kindly understand if the board has confirm it's meeting date for the 2024, if so,
please supply your board meeting date for 2024 and agenda if available.”
On 27 November 2023, we sought refinement of your request. You subsequently advised you
were not looking for any specific information, rather just the release of Minutes relating to Board
meetings. The OIA 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 wil 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 29 February 2024.
This extension is made under section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA, as the necessary consultations are such
that a proper decision cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review this response. The Office of the
Ombudsman can be contacted through their website a
