Dear Julyan
Request made under the Official Information Act 1982
Thank you for your email
of 1 July 2025 requesting the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
I am trying to find Notifications of Exemptions from Land Transport Rules. Specifically
Exemptions from the Graduated Driver Licensing System.
…
The latest I can find in the Gazette online is dated 21 Jan 2022 and covers the period 1 April
2021 to 30 June 2021. I have confirmed with the Gazette that there are no further publications
able to be found.
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) recently prepared the exemption notices from Quarter 3
2021, to Quarter 2 2025. These wil be available online within the next 6 to 8 weeks.
As such, your request has been refused under section 18(d), as the information requested wil soon be
publicly available.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to refuse
this request. The contact details for the Ombudsman can be located at

If you would like to discuss this reply with NZTA, please contact Ministerial Services, by email to
[NZTA request email].
Yours sincerely
