Dear Jackson
I am writing in relation to your email to Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities requesting information
about the Independent Technology Review report.
The Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) requires that Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities advise
you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the day we received your
request. Unfortunately, it wil not be possible to meet that time limit. We are therefore writing to notify
you of an extension of the time to make our decision, under section 15A(1)(b), as consultations
necessary to make a decision on the request are such that a proper response to the request cannot
reasonably be made within the original time limit. You can expect a decision on your request on or
before 1 May 2025, which is an additional 20 working days.
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
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by
calling freephone 0800 802 602.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with Kāinga Ora, including this decision, please feel
free to contact the Government Services team by emailing
[Kāinga Ora request email].
Yours sincerely
Rachel Kelly
Manager, Government Services
