Dear Waka Kotahi,

 

Pursuant to the Official Information Act 1982, I am requesting information
relating to the fatal road incident involving Mr. Bryan Marris at the
intersection of Hewletts Road and Tasman Quay (State Highway 2), Mount
Maunganui, on 28 April 2023.

 

Based on information reported in the media, it is understood that Waka
Kotahi undertook assessments or actions following this incident.
Accordingly, I respectfully request the release of any documents or
records relating to:

 

- Any safety assessments or "engineer's reports" carried out by Waka
Kotahi or its contractors on the Hewletts Road on-road cycle lane and the
Tasman Quay intersection following the incident;

- Documentation detailing proposed or implemented road design changes in
response to the incident, including PDF layout plans or concept drawings
reflecting the current or intended design state;

- Any internal investigation reports, reviews, or evaluations conducted by
Waka Kotahi in the aftermath of the incident.

 

Should any part of this request require clarification, I am happy to
assist. I would prefer to receive the requested information in electronic
form where practicable.

 

Thank you

 

Kind regards,

Shane Plummer
