Kia ora George,

Thank you for your response email below clarifying and refining your request, it is appreciated.

The Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.

This email is to advise you that Wellington City Council needs to extend the due date of your response, pursuant to section 14(1)(b) of the LGOIMA, as consultations necessary to make a decision on the request are such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.

For this reason, you can expect a response from Wellington City Council no later than 18 September 2024.

Right of review
If you are not satisfied with the Council’s response, you may request the Office of the Ombudsman to investigate the Council’s decision. Further information is available on the Ombudsman website, http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/.

Thank you for your time, please be assured whilst the decision date for this request has been extended, I’ll endeavour to be in touch as soon as possible.

Kind regards
