Dear Jackie
Extension of time to respond to request made under the Official Information Act 1982
Thank you for your email of 6 December 2024 requesting the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
Can you please advise how many traffic infringements have been logged that have been
linked to NZTA vehicles or NZTA staff over the last 6 years; breaking it down by department,
offence (or violation / breach / notice) and year.
This letter is to advise 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. The deadline is
being extended as the consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a
thorough response cannot reasonably be made within the 20-working day limit.
We require ten more working days and will send you a response on or before 11 February 2025.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman about this extension. The
contact details for the Ombudsman can be located at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
If you would like to discuss this reply with NZTA, please contact the Ministerial Services team by email
to [NZTA request email].
Yours sincerely
Jackie Smith
Manager Ministerial Services – Regulatory
