frontline or service delivery FTE were sought and approved.

Copies of, or relevant excerpts from, approval documentation submitted to the
Executive Leadership Team or the Oranga Tamariki Governance Board relating

Your request is for a large quantity of official information or necessitates a search
through a large quantity of information, and meeting the original time limit would
unreasonably interfere with the operations of Oranga Tamariki. For this reason, I am
extending the time limit for providing you with the information to 9 September 2025 in
accordance with section 15A(1)(a) of the Act. We wil try to respond sooner than this
date if possible.
Should you wish to discuss any part of your request with us, please do not hesitate to
contact us at
[email address].
IN-CONFIDENCE
If you are not satisfied with this decision, you have the right to ask an Ombudsman to
review
it.
