ERP actions

Barry Garrick made this Official Information request to Simon Watts

The request was partially successful.

From: Barry Garrick

Dear Simon Watts,

I read your announcement on the ERP this morning with great interest.
Can I humbly request the cabinet paper and resulting minute which made the decisions on the released discussion document?
I would also like the cabinet paper and minute for the ERP actions discontinued under the previous government as I was not aware they had discontinued the urban regeneration projects,

Yours faithfully,

Barry Garrick

Thank you for contacting Hon Simon Watts, Member of Parliament for North
Shore, Minister of Climate Change and Minister of Revenue.

The Minister considers all correspondence important but as he receives a
large amount of correspondence, it is not always possible to provide a
personal response.

Please note the following guidelines:

·         If you are a North Shore constituent contacting the Minister
about an issue, then your email will be passed to his electorate office.

·         Invitations and requests to meet with the Minister will be
considered and a staff member will be in touch with you in due course. 

·         Requests for official information will be managed in accordance
with provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may include a
transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency. 

·         If your email falls outside of the Minister's portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your
correspondence may be transferred to another office, or there may be no
further response to you. 

Thank you once again for taking the time to write; it is very much
appreciated.

The Office of Hon Simon Watts

Dear Office of Hon Simon Watts,

Thank you for the reply. Please do let me know when the proactive release happens.

I just have one follow up issue. I think you have misinterpreted my question on the previous government's discontinuation of ERP policies. In the discussion document Hon Simon Watts released, it said that the previous government discontinued several ERP actions, including one to do with urban development. I would like the cabinet paper and minute that made that decision. I understand this happened before the coalition government was formed, but I assumed the document would have been filed somewhere. Am I able to get a copy of those?

Yours sincerely,

Barry Garrick
