Subject: Requesting OIA for transfer re City and Regional Deals

 

CAUTION:External Email.

 

Good morning team,

 

We have received an Official Information Act request asking the below:

 

May I please be provided with the proposal for a regional deal for Western
Bay of Plenty region that I believe has been submitted to DIA?

 

We are wondering if you accept transfer of this request under the LGOIMA
since this is your document? Our view is that the City and Regional Deals
are still under active consideration so we would withhold this in full so
it may be best for you to make an assessment on whether you would like to
release your document.

 

If so, I can send through formal transfer documents.

 

Kind regards,

Olivia
