Tēnā koe Steven
Thank you for your request of 8 September 2025 to Fire and Emergency New Zealand requesting
the following information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA):
•
Further to my request, per Appendix Three, would you please supply the fol owing items
mentioned in the email dated 9 July 2025.
1. SCOM Minutes
2. Cascade Plan
3. Cascade plan for existing aerials feedback from Aerial working group.docx
4. Would you also supply any existing emails regarding the aerial project between 01 July
2025 and 08 September 2025
This letter is to advise that Fire and Emergency needs to extend the timeframe of our response to
your request by 15 working days, under section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA, 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.
For this reason, you can expect to receive our response no later than 28 October 2025. We will
endeavour to respond sooner than this date if possible. If you no longer require this information,
please let us know.
You have the right to request an investigation and review of Fire and Emergency’s decision to
extend the timeframe by the Ombudsman. Information about how to make a complaint is
available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Nāku noa, nā
