Tēnā koe Zita Joyce

 

I am writing concerning your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request
(reference 29905) of 17 January 2025 which asks for:

 

Please provide documentation of the decision for New Zealand to not
participate in the Osaka 2025 Expo, including advice to the Minister, and
the report prepared by Ernst and Young in 2021, as awarded in the GETS
tender with the reference number 2913

 

This email is to advise that we will need to extend the time limit for
responding to you by 25 working days, to 24 March 2025. This is because
responding to your request necessitates the review of a large quantity of
information, and due to the consultations necessary to make a decision on
your request (section 15A(1)(a) and (b) of the OIA refers).

 

However, if this process is completed before 24 March 2025, the response
will be sent to you as soon as possible.

 

If you have any questions, you can contact us by email at: DM
[1][email address]. You have the right to seek an investigation and
review by the Ombudsman of this decision by contacting
[2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
