Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

A Concept Design Road Safety Audit was conducted by WSP for NZTA in Mid 2021. This Audit has previously been provided under the OIA. This assessed the risks of dogs-on-leads on the path as a significant risk of causing death and serious injury.

We have been informed by Hutt City Council officers that NZTA has susequently reassessed this risk as a moderate risk of causing death and serious injury.

We request under the OIA all documents, assessments, memos and emails - whether internal or by external agencies or consultants - related to the reassessment of this risk.

Yours faithfully,

David Tripp
