Tēnā koe John
Thank you for your Official Information Act request to the Department of Conservation, received on
21 July 2025 in which you asked for information relating to Fale Andrew Lesā and the Auckland
Conservation Board.
This letter is to advise you that we are extending the 20 working day period to respond to your
request, as allowed under section 15A(1) of the Official Information Act 1982. We require an
additional 5
days to respond to your request. We will send you a response no later than 25 August
2025, earlier if possible.
The extension of time is necessary as the consultations necessary to make a decision on the
request mean that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made within the original
time limit.
You have the right, under section 28(3) of the Official Information Act to make a complaint to an
Ombudsman about the extension.
If you wish to discuss this response to your request, please contact
[email address].
Nāku noa, nā
