From: Maria Lucento
Dear University of Otago,
The University of Otago responded to the OIA request https://fyi.org.nz/request/29068-infrast....
That response did not address the specific request that was made. The following request is being made so that an expected complaint with the Office of the Ombudsman under section 28(3) of the act can be resolved as efficiently as practicable.
I am requesting under the OIA any documents held by Otago University that relate to the request: https://fyi.org.nz/request/29068-infrast....
Yours faithfully,
Maria Lucento

I am writing to clarify my request. Apologies that the initial request may not have been as clear as it might have been.

Yours sincerely,

Tçnâ koe Maria
I refer to your information request dated 20 February 2025 made under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the date your request was received. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit. We are therefore writing to notify you, pursuant to section 15A of the Act, of an extension of the time to make our decision in respect of your request, by a further 10 working days – to 2 April 2025.
This extension is necessary to allow for consultations necessary to make a decision on your request. We thank you for your patience – we will endeavour to provide our response sooner if possible.
If you are not satisfied with our extension of time, you have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman under section 28(3) of the Act. However, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss any concerns with you first.
