Kia ora G J,
We are unable to provide you with the information you asked for
On 11/07/2024 you asked for the cost of gifted te reo Māori names by mana
whenua for the new bus stations and structures being built for the Eastern
Busway.
Auckland Transport (AT) has not made any payment for the gifting of names
on Eastern Busway. Your request is therefore declined under section 17 (e)
of the LGOIMA as the information does not exist.
We understand that this isn’t the outcome you hoped for.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review how we’ve responded to
your official information request. You can contact the Ombudsman at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
