Time Extension of your Official Information Act request, reference: GOV-040545
Thank you for your email of 3 June 2025, asking for the following information under the Official Information
Act 1982 (the Act):
Under the Official Information Act, I am requesting the fol owing information, for the same rōpū of
executives and the same reporting period as the original request:
1. Details of any non-hotel accommodation paid in full or in part by ACC for these executives. This includes,
but is not limited to:
- Rented apartments or houses (e.g. Airbnb, serviced apartments)
- Long-term leased accommodation
- Allowances, subsidies, or reimbursements used for private noho
- Any other accommodation not classified under hotels.
2. For each instance, please provide:
- The name of the executive
- The type and location of the noho
- The period it was used (including start and end dates)
- The reason this noho was used instead of hotel accommodation (e.g. nature of mahi or expected frequency
of hui)
- The total cost to ACC, broken down by financial quarter and Executive member (as per the original
response).
3. Please also provide any associated documentation, including:
- Internal approvals, business cases, or memos that justified or approved the use of non-hotel noho
- The approval pathway (who approved and when)
- ACC’s current policy or guidance on executive accommodation, including any specific provisions relating to
long-term or non-standard noho.
ACC needs extra time
The Act requires that we 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 and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to 16 July 2025.
This extension is necessary because consultations to make a decision on your request are such that a
proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
How to get in touch
Please contact me o
n [email address] if you would like to talk about this letter. I will be
happy to answer any questions or, if you have any concerns, work with you to resolve these.
If you are not happy with this response, you have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman.
