May I ask how you cal ed for public nomination and on what platform you have call for public nominations
e.g. govt.jobs website. A copy of your ad as well. Also, how many applications you have received for each of
the role from the public and how many you have received from other nominating agencies such as TPK or
Ministry of women etc for your role. How many you have shortlisted and how many you have interviewed.
Also, can I request to view the appointment letter if there is one sent to the previous appointee. I am happy
for you to remove al the personal information.
We have transferred your request to the Ministry for Culture and Heritage. The Ministry for Culture and
Heritage supports the Minister for Sport and Recreation to make appointments to the Sport New Zealand
Board, therefore the information is more closely connected with their function. In these circumstances, we
are required by section 14 of the OIA to transfer your request.
You wil hear further from the Ministry for Culture and Heritage concerning your request. Their email
