Snow Making Authorisation
Andrew M. made this Official Information request to Department of Conservation
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Andrew M. to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Andrew M.
Dear Department of Conservation,
I am writing to request information under the Official Information Act 1982.
I am seeking the following information in relation to Pure Tūroa held by DOC.
1. A copy of any concession variation, amendment, or approval granted by the Department of Conservation that enables Pure Tūroa to undertake snowmaking activities or operate snowmaking machinery prior to 1 June 2025.
2. Copies of any correspondence, approvals, discussions, or records of meetings between the Department of Conservation and Pure Tūroa regarding snowmaking or snow play operations for 2025.
According to the current concession terms, snowmaking is authorised only from 1 June onwards.
However, public communications from Pure Tūroa have indicated plans to open for snow play on 31 May. This raises questions about whether the Department has authorised any variation or early start, and we are requesting any documents that confirm such authorisation or discussion.
If any part of this request is unclear or would benefit from refinement, please let me know.
I would appreciate confirmation of receipt of this request, and I look forward to your response within the statutory timeframe.
Ngā mihi nui,
Andrew
