An initial assessment of your request identified approximately 11,000 emails as potentially being in
scope of your request. On 25 January 2024, Te Tūāpapa Kura Kāinga – Ministry of Housing and
Urban Development (the Ministry) advised you that your request would require substantial collation
to respond to, and as such is likely to be rejected under section 18(f) of the Act. On 1 February 2024,
the Ministry sent a further email to you following up on our refinement request.
As you did not provide a refinement to your original request, I am refusing it under section 18(f), as
the information requested cannot be made available without substantial collation or research.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review of my response by the Ombudsman, in
accordance with section 28(3) of the Act. The relevant details can be found on the Ombudsman’s
website at:
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz. As part of our ongoing commitment to openness and transparency, the Ministry proactively releases
information and documents that may be of interest to the public. As such, this response, with your
personal details removed, may be published on our website.
Nāku noa, nā
