Thank you for your request dated 10 June 2024 to Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities under the
Of icial Information Act 1982 (the Act) for the following information:
Please provide any communications (emails, texts, phone calls, meetings, or other), between
RDC & KO since 28th Feb 2024.
These communications should include (but not limited to) 1.1/ Communications about OIA's
that have been submitted to KO or RDC (regarding Barry Murphy, or the Ohakune Ratepayers
and Residents' Society) 1.2./ Communications regarding Teitei Drive 1.3./ Communications
regarding the funding or reimbursement of any monies
2./ In addition, please provide your policy regarding the sharing of personal information or OIA
queries with parties outside of your organisation. Such query is regarding the sharing of
information post the cancellation of the Teitei drive project. We believe questions being asked
of either RDC or KO are being shared with either party where they should not be; the
respective organisations should be answering the questions on their own merit without sharing
such queries with others without prior consent. Please advise your policy and what has been
occurring since 28th Feb 2024.
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days (9
July 2024) 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
under section15A(1) of the Act, to
6 August 2024.
This extension is required because consultations necessary to decide on your request are such that a
proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of my decision on your
request. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
Freephone 0800 802 602.
