Kia ora Steven,

 

We write regarding your request received 1 July 2025 asking for fleet
related information under the Official Information Act 1982. In order to
avoid a substantial collation and research refusal, we are seeking
clarification of question 4 of your request that asks for:

 

(4) A separate document outlining any "major" repair expenses on
appliances.

 

Could you please clarify what you mean by “major repair”? In the first
instance we suggest limiting “major repairs” to repairs over $10,000.

 

Please note, however, that due to the way Fire and Emergency records
repair costs, even with this refinement, it may still be difficult to
provide information that identifies major repairs. For example, we could
identify appliance repair invoices over $10,000. However, such an invoice
could be a single work item that costed more than $10k, or many small
items that were done together so the total cost was more than $10k.  This
difference may not be apparent from the short invoice description that our
system captures.

 

To provide more detailed information would require a lot of manual work to
collate. It would require us to open each invoice stored in PDF form,
analyse it and capture the work description in the invoice in a format
suitable for reporting. This would need to be done for every invoice, and
depending on the threshold for major repairs could result in substantial
collation and research.

 

We would appreciate your consideration and reply as soon as possible. If
no reply is received we will consider your request on its original merit.

 

Ngâ mihi,
