Dear J Floyd,

I am writing to update you on your OIA request. We are currently working through your request and consultation is required. We are therefore extending the time to make a decision on your request by five weeks to 23 December 2024.

We will endeavour to respond to you sooner, with 23 December 2024 being the latest date for a decision. This extension is made under section 15A(1)(b), as the consultations necessary to make a decision on the 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 this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/ or you can freephone 0800 802 602.

Ngā mihi,
Lauren
