Kia ora Suze,

 

I refer to your official information request dated 31 January 2025 for
Fast Track Approvals Act & Bendigo Ophir Mine Correspondence.

 

We are required under the Local Government Official Information and
Meetings Act 1987 to advise you of our decision on your request no later
than 20 working days after the day we received your request.

 

Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our
decision, to 13 March 2025.

 

This extension is necessary because your request necessitates a review
through a large quantity of information requiring redactions and
consulting with Santana Minerals. Meeting the original time limit would
unreasonably interfere with our operations. We will release this
information as soon as possible.

 

If you wish to discuss this with us, please contact us by return email.

 

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
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

 

Kind regards,

 

Josh
