Dear James
Extension of time to respond to request made under the Official Information Act 1982
Thank you for your email of 5 August 2024 requesting the fol owing information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
all communications relating to the tender and purchase of four e-bikes and eleven youth
pushbikes, bike maintenance, insurance and a part time coordinator as per media reports
relating to a trial in Rotorua at a Kainga Ora complex.
This should include but not be limited to, al emails, texts, phone cal s and meetings etc.
This letter is to advise you that NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is extending the 20
working days available to respond to your request, as allowed for under section 15A of the Act.
We require an additional ten working days and wil send you a response on or before 16
September 2024.
The deadline is being extended as your request necessitates a search through a large quantity of
information and the consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a
thorough response cannot reasonably be made within the original 20-working-day limit.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to complain to the Ombudsman about the
extension. More information about the Ombudsman is available online at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
If you would like to discuss the extension with NZTA, please email the Ministerial Services team
via email to [NZTA request email].
Yours sincerely
Tom James
Manager, Ministerial Services
