Tēnā koe Scott,
We refer to your OIA request of 16 May 2024 outlined below.
The OIA requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the day that we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible for us to meet that time limit on this occasion, as the consultations necessary for us to complete making a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit. We are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time limit under section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA, to 12 July 2024.
Despite this extension, we will provide you with our response as soon as practicable.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman regarding our decision to extend the time limit. Information about how to make a complaint is available at http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/ or by phoning 0800 802 602.
Ngā mihi
GCSB
