Dear requester,

I refer to your request of 11 September 2025.

" We are requesting the names of the members of the 2025 Blues Award Selection Panel.

We are also requesting, from 2024, the number of applications made for the Blues Awards and how many applicants were successful."

The list of Blues Award winners for each year is publicly available on the University's website at https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/students/a.... This part of your request is refused under section 18(d) of the OIA.

As consultations necessary to make a decision on the remainder of your request are such that a response cannot reasonably be given within the original time limit, the University has extended the time limit for your request until 7 November 2025 under section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA. We will respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable.

You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are dissatisfied with the University's response/extension.

Yours sincerely,

Landon Watt
Legal Advisor
Office of the Vice-Chancellor
Waipapa Taumata Rau | University of Auckland
