Dear Wayne,
REQUEST FOR OFFICIAL INFORMATION - EXTENSION OF TIME REQUIRED TO REACH A DECISION
We refer to your official information request dated 17 March 2024 for:
• Can you advise what advice you have received regarding ticketing cars at the Frankton marina
and what legal ability you have to do so given the land is reserve land.
• Could you also provide a copy of the lease or licence granted to Veolia and a copy of the public
advertising seeking to grant that lease for their continued occupation of that land.
• If there is no lease/licence, could you advise whether you will be taking legal action against
yourself for this breach and what immediate steps, you will be taking to remedy this situation.
• Could you also advise why you are disregarding the reserves act and whether you have staff who
understands the act
The Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 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, we are unable to meet that time limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an
extension of the time to make our decision to
13 May 2024. This extension is necessary for the following reasons:
• Your request necessitates a search through a large quantity of official information and
meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with our operations.
• Consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response
cannot be reasonably made within the original time limit.
Right to review the above decision
Note that you have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
Information about this process is available
at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800
802 602.
If you wish to discuss this decision with us, please conta
ct [email address]
(Governance & Stakeholder Services Manager).
Kind Regards,
