Thank you for your email of 17 October 2025 to Fire and Emergency New Zealand requesting the
following information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA):
•
Please detail what new appliances are to be delivered to brigades before Christmas Day
2025. Include the appliance type and station / town they wil be delivered to.
We are currently reviewing our appliance delivery schedule and at this stage we are not able to
confirm whether there will be any further appliance deliveries to brigades before 25 December
2025. For this reason, your request is refused under section 18(e) of the OIA, as the document
alleged to contain the information requested does not exist.
However, please note that we wil be receiving 30 appliances for acceptance testing between
November 2025 and 25 December 2025. The locations of these appliances are still to be
determined, and their delivery to brigades will be subject to satisfactory outcomes from the
acceptance testing.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
Information about how to make a complaint is available
at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
freephone 0800 802 602.
